Love that idea of " go do and be all the things!" When I graduated high school, I said something big and grand like that. Fast forward 44 years, it still works for my way of thinking. Thanks for sharing it and the encouragement to embrace all our parts.
This piece is fantastic! And so helpful to someone modeling her complexity for a bunch of kids. Could I try to present as “perfect”? Yes—but I would set my sons up to grapple with all this same stuff as they realize they contain shadow as well as light. I feel so much safer when I own all parts of myself—I have nowhere to fall. My feet are on the ground. And I get a marvelous opportunity at repair, showing my friends and family my tenderness & opening space for deeper connection. Even the mistakes can be a win. I’m so glad I found this piece. I will come back to it when the perfectionist voice begins her whispers :)
Thanks for this. Needed it!

Oh this is really really beautiful. I loved the part about knowing your whole self being a life times work - that really spoke to me. ✨🍃
