I can’t believe that I have another senior this year (insert tears)! In just a few short weeks, Grace will be graduating high school and pursuing her passions as a make up artist and esthetician. I am so proud of the young woman she has become. Before she graduates, we are heading on a senior trip (a Caribbean Cruise) this week. As I was thinking about this upcoming trip and her graduation, I started asking myself if I have covered all of the parenting talks. Of course not, how do we EVER share EVERYTHING. I did decide to make a list of some conversations and topics I wanted to have with her this week. I can’t think of another time in her 18 years that we have been alone for this long. We will be together for eight days and I thought I would mention one topic per day.
- BE YOURSELF
- LOVE YOURSELF
- LOVE OTHERS
- HAVE BOUNDARIES
- TALKING ALWAYS HELPS
- RELATIONSHIPS ARE WORK
- QUALITY IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN QUANTITY, ESPECIALLY IN FRIENDSHIPS
- EXPECTATIONS RUIN RELATIONSHIPS
I am excited to spend this time with Grace. I want to say a special thank you to my husband who encouraged me to say YES to this special trip with her. Next week, I will be in Cincinnati at the GHC conference! Can’t wait to see what lessons are waiting for me there! Happy SPRING!
Blessings!
Say YES and have a great week!!!
