I don't often say it, but my children inspire me. Every single one of them--through all of their gifts and human traits--I can see myself better than I could ever before. As human beings, they must grow through their rites of passage into the very real world of adulthood. As a mother who loves her children, I do not want to see any of them suffer in any way. That is when I start to search my own soul for a solution to help them; and that is when I realize these solutions hold truth for my life, as well. They are like walking mirrors of some aspect of my character and personality. It is an awesome thing to observe.
I love my children; they are spiritual extensions of my heart and soul. On this 4th of July 2014, I want to extend to them the hope that they continue taking heart, facing and overcoming challenges, as well as keeping an open heart, mind, and soul.
To my kids Stacey, Rachel, Michelle, and Michael:
You are the loves of my life. You will do well in whatever paths you take, as long as you maintain the courage to work through the obstacles, trials, and triumphs of your lives. Stay true to yourselves; but love and respect yourselves enough to prevent others from using you, abusing you, or reducing you in character. Don't be afraid of hard work, because it builds a driven character, which is in the spirit of things that will keep you moving on a positive path forward.
Stay golden in heart, mind and deed; and maintain a healthy sense of self-worth and dignity. More good things will come to you. You inspire me to be the best version of myself I possibly can. Thank you my dears; and I love you. <3 <3 <3
