"I’ve learned that as I relax my hold on the script of life, I create more space for the miraculous moments of life to happen" Amen! Thanks for sharing what this has looked like in your life, through those little vignettes

I was really drawn to you saying: "If I want kids who engage in the world with curiosity and questions, who do not let fear or other peoples’ opinions to fuel their choices, then I need to model that." I had never thought of myself as a Type C Mom before, but I feel as though the description and examples you gave here resonated so deeply with my experience of motherhood and the kind of mom I aim to be. From one kindred Type C Mom to another, thanks for this beautiful post!

This was so beautiful to read! I’m inspired by your go-with-the-flow attitude snd need to adopt more of that in my life.

Thanks, Wendy!! It has definitely been a learning process, but so worth it!

Whew, this hit deep: "softened by the realities (and chaos) of motherhood." Relaxing my hold on the script of life with you friend.
