Soul-searching, inspiration, personal growth. When I hear women say my daughter is my best friend, I envision uncomfortable conversations without boundaries. I also think of a lack of safety net for the daughter who occasionally just needs her mom. To me it would diminish the role I play in her life which is different than the women she has welcomed into her tribe. She needs both but for unique reasons. Now this would only be relevant if.

Live a life you want to remember. With you in the middle. Or perhaps I have inconveniently placed myself at both extremes. I must prove myself, right? I must make a difference, right? Or, do I go home and love my family? Could that be the most meaningful and impactful difference? Can it be simple? .
