I love this--reading other moms' hearts, the soul of you, of these women broken, lifting their hallelujahs the only way they know how--it just does something to me, friend. Makes me braver. I'm gonna go be brave now--maybe we'll jump on the trampoline, lay in the hammock and read, I'll maybe teach some scriptures to my daughters on beauty. Tears now--your writing does this to me.

Time is flying by, and I need to stop and look at him more when he is talking to me. Nothing is more important than letting him know that he is worth my time.
