13 Things The Women In My Life Have Taught Me


1. To own my decisions, for better or worse

2. That tears are natural

3. That you can either ask for help, or hang the picture crooked

4. That I don't have to become my father

5. That honor is in the act of service rather than the type of service

6. That sometimes a smile and a hug is enough

7. To be attentive and kind

8. To look for the words, to offer them with tact and compassion, and to remain silent when there are no words

9. To be silly

10. To love sport and competition

11. To respect and to trust

12. That what gets broken can be mended in the fullness of time

13. That two halves of the same whole can find each other
