I love watching my toddler learn but I know that I was given another baby to teach me new things about life. I love how carefree a child is and wish I could be more childlike and not worry about things as much.Christy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730414767785343296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411498686366661202.post-27140070899398347932013-08-11T13:50:24.730-07:002013-08-11T13:50:24.730-07:00So touching and poignant, Rachel.

Look at this outpouring. I have to say.. I to...Wow! Look at this outpouring. I have to say.. I took the biggest lesson possible from that conference. And that was, you gotta put yourself out there, you have to get over your road blocks and speak. Be your real self. <br />A few days after getting home my husband and I ran into one of his students and mom, the mom's where I live are INTIMIDATING! They are all rail thin, gorgeous blondes, with perfect nails, figures, hair, clothes. Usually while they are chatting I would say hello, then step back. That day, I didn't. I used the confidence I had gained, and I said hello and I participated in the conversation, and when she was self-deprecating and said she would never remember what my husband said, I said "give me your cell # I'll text it to you."!! Me, chubby wall-flower even though I grew-up here and you didn't I let myself feel small next to you. It felt really good. I am trying to ride that wave of confidence, the other day when someone asked me what I did for a living, I said "I'm a writer". Yup, not a stay at home, home-schooling mom. That's what I do, but not what MY passion is. So give out those gold leaves sister! It's empowering and amazing! DO IT!JenKehl.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00554791522281508816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411498686366661202.post-89010706544650449492013-08-04T16:39:20.060-07:002013-08-04T16:39:20.060-07:00I love this.
