Today is our day. A day to celebrate girls, daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, girlfriends and the list goes on.
As I reflect on my life and how I want to lead my daughters into this world, I struggle with the desire to completely go full-metal jacket and teach them to kick some proverbial butt. I know that they need to find their own way, but I do believe in developing my daughters into brave souls.
In my heart, I know they will learn to grow and develop into their own fully independent identities, with our without adopting my values of what strong woman means.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Fight the urge to impose your identity on others. It’s not who they are. Accept that it’s who you are, uniquely.
Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
