Childhood

“It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.”

I love that line.

Seriously.

At what point do you want to re-write the narrative of your childhood so it serves you most powerfully? (Now, perhaps? :)

I’m just suggesting that you think about the lessons learned, the beauty.

Obviously, our biggest challenges are what forged us. So why wouldn’t we have a deep, deep appreciation for it all? And celebrate the childhood that birthed our souls?!?

I can now appreciate the depth of my own dad’s sensitivity that he just couldn’t handle. I can appreciate how hard he worked to give us what we had. I can appreciate so much …

When I consciously choose how to remember and interpret my childhood…

You?
