My fiancés’ daughter graduated today and my eyes welled up as I took in all the bliss. These graduates held their heads high; they wore big smiles, and emanated energy of inspiration; it is beautiful to experience.
My fiancé and I have 4 young adults, 18, 19, 20
& 21 years of age. Seeing these kids grow into individuals who now all tower me in height is surreal. I love their individuality and witnessing how they explore and figure out what feels right to them. I am in awe of how smart and creative they are, and most of all, when I see their kindness shine through, it makes me feel most proud.
Yes, I know that applying all of our heart to our
endeavors can be vulnerable and scary, but I think it is worth the gamble. I am
all about heart!
What do you think is the best advice you got when you
graduated? It’s funny. I really do not remember being the recipient of any words
of wisdom. I’m sure I was, but I wasn’t really present to hear them, so I didn’t retain the information.
