Melissa sweetheart, seeing my name mentioned for laughter was heart-warming for sure and I'm beyond grateful! But, reading those lines... goodness, it triggered an undescribable feeling and many tears.

The pure humility is always overwhelming me! In the words of my legendary mentor Stephen Covey:

"Humility is the mother of all the virtues because humility acknowledges that there are natural laws or principles that govern the universe. They are in charge. We are not. Pride teaches us that we are in charge. Humility teaches us to understand and live by principles, because they ultimately govern the consequences of our actions. If humility is the mother, courage is the father of wisdom. Because to truly live by these principles when they are contrary to social mores, norms and values takes enormous courage."

Last but not least, I am so proud of you for not having vehiculated your fears and self-doubt to your kids and for being successful in keeping them connected to their intrinsic worth, my soul friend! I believe that's by far your biggest life achievement, so far! 🤗💙🤗
