Because and in spite of..

I’ve been thinking about our four (adult) kids…

and my heart is humbled as I consider their work ethic, their compassion, their determination and their constant commitment to self improvement on every level.

They are (at least in part) who they are

because 

and in spite of

their life experiences.

It’s that magic combination that comes up over and over again

as we go through life..

the good

the bad

and everything in between

reshaping and refining us into ever elevated versions of who we were before.

If we allow it.
