Mom gets in on the act

Naturally, I was hesitant about my writing as smudging project.  Was it the right thing to do?  Would what feels respectful & honoring be experienced as honest or as condemning to others?  Would it serve a purpose or just be getting stuff off my chest?  Yes, I worried about those things, although not much.  

Now, not even a smidgen.  Mom just got into the act.  Right there, smack dab in the middle of Daring Greatly, pages 110 & 111.  Brene quotes the same passage from Margery Williams' classic, The Velveteen Rabbit,that Mom used to open her article, The Velveteen Grammie.  

Big, glorious goose bumps.  A can't-miss sign from our mother - "You go, girl!"
