"Chrysalis"
Protect and cherish; give wings to fly
"A chrysalis is the protective covering in which a caterpillar develops into a butterfly. [This] is a metaphor for the relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter -- a time of letting go, in support of emerging independence. A mother's first response is to protect her child. But the greater gift is to provide the love and trust that helps her daughter find wings to fly."
Susan Lordi
I hope I can remember this as my children grow.
I just read a newspaper article about a teacher I had in high school. He is in his 50’s and just got home from climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. In the article he said that he made a list as a senior in high school of 100 things he wanted to do in his life, and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was the last thing. I am so inspired by this story I really feel like if he can accomplish his goals and dreams so can I. Here is the start of my list.
-Do a triathlon
-Raft the Grand Canyon
-Learn to play tennis
-Take my family to Alaska
-Learn to ballroom dance
-Hike to the top of Angels Landing in Zions National Park
