SHE’S ‘THE ONE’! I know you know it, but she’s going to eclipse us ALL! YOU did that! My favorite moment of the weekend was when the lady from the top said that she needed her OWN speaking platform, then you and Sax grabbed each other’s hands and looked at each other … faces lit UP … because you both already know this and saw HER light shining through all the cracks and holes in your collective legacies. It made me cry. So proud of her!!!

… then, right on cue, I was reminded yet again of exactly why I’m doing what I’m doing.
PARENTS and PARENTS TO BE:
As you focus on clearing your generational trauma and the fallout from your childhood brokenness, never forget to wield your ancestral strengths like a trebuchet launching a fireball through the sky and over the walls of any fortress you need to bring down … up to and including the ones built by “your people” … some of who may unfairly imprisoned you and your inner child’s crystal heart in stone and steel for crimes YOU never committed.
Our ancestors gave us more than just wounds. They gave us wisdom, maps, strengths, mistakes and ashes for us to rise from. I’m not just talking about our ancestors who barely walked upright and communicated with hieroglyphs in their caves. I’m talking about our own parents, lo may some of them have really botched things up.
Whatever they did right? Do it even RIGHTER! Whatever they did wrong? CANCEL it! No matter how much they hurt you, remember that someone probably hurt them, too and forgive them. No, you don’t have to “forget”, by the way. By “forgetting” we lose the map of where not to go with our own kids when we’re planting flags in different directions.
And remember this, too …
Not everyone who survives a battle comes out with tougher skin and an iron heart wielding a fiery sword like me. Some people emerge with tender skin, softer hearts, and just enough will to keep living. That’s okay, too! This world needs the balance of both, and if the only audience you’re ever meant to have is your babies, well, then THAT’S a pretty epic crowd.
At the end of the day, just remember that, YES, your kids are watching you. They’re watching everything! One of YOURS might be “The One”! GO ALL IN WITH THEM and change their story. Today. Start TODAY! It’s NEVER too late to pop that bubble you’ve been hiding in and lead your kids to The Promised Land. Don’t just TELL them how to get there … SHOW THEM!
