“I have noticed that the most generous and vital people are those who have been broken open by change, or loss, or adversity. And not just broken open on the outside. Indeed, it is the internal transformation that matters most. If there is one thing that has made a difference in my life, it is the courage to turn and face what wants to change within me.”
-Elizabeth Lesser
Daughters,
I’m doing this work in my own life right now, in real time. But more importantly, I am learning to let go of trying to shelter you both from your own adversity. If you let it too, being broken open by painful wounds can become your wings and in time become your beauty.
Have the courage to turn and face what wants to change within you instead of letting it harden you,
Mom
