Jul. 14, 2007 - Wisdom
I’ve been thinking of some things I would like to write about to pass on to my kids, esp. the girls. I’m going to add a category called Passing it On.
A lot of our learning comes from real life—watching , then helping, and then eventually doing it by yourselves. Learning from us and then developing your own uniqueness about how you do things.
I told you a story this morning(which involved sewing 20 clown costumes, a trip to the LA garment district and a nervous breakdown-not mine, fortunately) and said that at 21 I didn’t recognize when someone I was working for had impossible expectations, didn’t realize I could say “this won’t work” knowing I knew more about how much work the project would take than they did.. Now I would do that. I guess that’s called wisdom and life experience. I have always tried to soak up the wisdom of the women in my life, like my beautiful mom, your grandma, because I see them becoming more of who they were meant to be and have gained discernment about things.
I know you have many things that you can only learn through your own experience, but I would like to share my thoughts on things I’ve learned and am learning along the way. To put into words some of the things I want to pass on.

I'll look forward to benefiting from your wisdom too. (Since you have more gray hair than me!) Did I tell you that Peace saw one of my shorter, wiry gray hairs the other day and said "WHAT is that?" It was pretty funny!
Love you,
