This is so, so wonderful. Thank you, Katherine Center. Watch this. Please. It’s worth it. I’m sitting here with tears running down my face.
You have to be brave with your life so that others can be brave with theirs.
The truth is, being a woman is a gift, tenderness is a gift, intimacy is a gift, and nurturing the good in this world is nothing short of a privilege.
That is why I have to love you this way. So I can give what I have to you, so that you can carry it in your body, and pass it on.
You are writing the story of your only life every minute of every single day.
And my greatest hope, sweet child, is that I can teach you how to write a good one.

Wow, looks like a few of us had hard days and needed to see/hear this. I sure did. I wish I could go wake up Hannah right now and just hug her… I am now regretting some of the words I spoke to her today. Ugh.
thanks for this lindsey.

Beautiful. It’s things like these that make me think of what my mom didn’t do with me. Not in a bitter way, but in a mindful way…these are the things I will do for my children when they come.
Bless you for sharing this!
