i found an old “to-do” list in my mom’s handwriting from 2003. item #3 was “buy a new dress for myself.” it was crossed out, and underneath she wrote, “buy school shoes for little lamb.” that's me, i’m little lamb. i looked at my shelf of medals and certificates and realized they were all paid for in dresses she never wore
Yea i definitely think women should get huge celebrations outside of motherhood and partnership. Thanks for bringing the conversation up guys. I’m going to look for new ways and reasons to celebrate my friends. This is what i like to see!
I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.
