I am a shit for not answering, but I was in a fallow phase. I am so glad you are on facebook, and I can see you smiling in your pictures.<br /><br />This post really spoke to me, because I once mentored a quiet, young woman who was raised to think her place was in the church and the kitchen, not in college, who was smarter than all of us put together. When we interviewed her and offered her a job on the spot, she said I have to ask my husband first. Uh Oh, I thought. But thank goodness he let her switch from her hotel reservation job to our laboratory data entry position. There was nothing she couldn't do or remember, and she is, 20 some years later among my favorite people and one of my heroes. She did go to school, get a Chem degree, while being a single mom and working circles around everyone. She's now a lawyer and a corporate VP and I know she would have excelled somewhere, anywhere, but so glad we found her first and got to witness her transformation into the amazing person she is today. <br /><br />Keep spreading your light out there. You're not a mid anything, you are amazing.<br /><br />And I am late to the Hamilton party, but am going to get with the program. The show is in Chicago for a while and once the frenzy dies down I am going to get to a performance!<br /><br />xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994205462075967000.post-14391884915450083212016-07-12T01:52:18.431-04:002016-07-12T01:52:18.431-04:00Well this is beautiful to read.

No, luckily I don't have to do it alone but I know I'll be peppered with a million questions over the next few weeks. I've done the best I can - I guess we can always do better and more, but I really do feel like I've done everything I could. Becoming an adult...whose idea was this?? :)SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174193133138897712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994205462075967000.post-24533229547104512192016-07-10T22:12:10.599-04:002016-07-10T22:12:10.599-04:00Oh, oh, Steph!

You don't say if you are the one that has to do this, I hope not.<br />But I think the important thing here is that you filled her bag with good, good tools.<br />She IS going out there different than she came in and it would have taken her years! to do that without your help. There's the focus.<br />But yes, girlfriend, it is hard.<br />And the eyes may be upon you, but you shouldn't fear what they see xxlivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994205462075967000.post-1555195643298983462016-07-10T22:04:46.200-04:002016-07-10T22:04:46.200-04:00Oh honey.
