Have you ever been told to, “do what’s right for your kids”? I’ve heard it, and thought I understood it. Only this week I have really come to feel the meaning of that statement. I have been considering Porter’s education this last week. Despite what I have thought in the past I know now that what I wanted, and what is right for him, may not be the same things. 

This epiphany is part of a growing understanding that I’m coming to about myself, beliefs that I once held and how I can be true to myself. Honestly, this all started during my month long Affirmation Challenge. It’s a long story, but it came down to another affirmation that I added after the fact. It was to find my genuine self. Whatever that means? I’m still working it out, but now it’s a goal.
