A Mother's Patience and Love Offered Her Daugther Many Lessons
I helped my daughter to become unstuck as she begins the 'teen years' and projects become overwhelming. Our lesson was pa.jpg)
tience, organization and understanding that it is OK to ask for help.
I can't (won't) "do" the project, but I can help to create an easier journey for her. It's a learning lesson for me as well. It's easy to be reactive when others are struggling. It is easy to celebrate when things go well.
My hope is that I can help her to see big projects can be broken down into smaller more manageable ones. That we are all here to help each other. I truly enjoyed the smile she had when together we completed part of the project and she could see the light was truly at the end of the tunnel. The project isn't done, but she is no longer stuck in the process.

Simply Being Kind
I was recently at my seventh grader's concert and it was a blast. When it ended everyone was making their way to the door. I was waiting for my seventh grader, but noticed the doors were heavy and didn't have a way to stay open on their own. I decided to hold the door to help the majority of families to exit with out the worry of being whacked or even injured. 
Some looked to see who it was holding the door - others even said thank you. It wasn't about having thank you's, it was simply about being kind.
