The newest post to Letters to a Parent is a great reminder that a parent can be one of the most important mirrors for their children, giving long-lasting answers to the unspoken, yearning questions like Am I beautiful?  Am I enough?  Thanks, Jenny, for your honest and thought-provoking post. 


Click on over and tell us what you think.

And psssst.  Join in on the conversation + submit a post of your own for the Letters project.  Or let me know if you think you know someone who you'd like to hear from and I'll do the inviting.  {I'm longing to turn my attention back to that neglected, patient project soon.  Soon!}

I love that post and I'm SO glad my mom ALWAYS told me I was beautiful-AND intelligent and funny and wonderful.

Thank you Mom.
