Wow, wonderful words of wisdom @jayna! Definitely true for me as well. Sports were completely discouraged when I was young, girls just didn't do those kinds of things. Just trying new things can be such a big boost to ones confidence, knowing you can! I'm sure you have been an amazing encouragement to your daughter, you've learned and overcome a lot! Love this post 😀

Thank you for the kind words, @birdsinparadise. Yes, things have definitely changed since we were kids! All three of my kids (two girls, one boy) all played sports and did really well. And they are all much more confident in life and in their friendships and life choices than I was. I hadn't thought about that, but it's the best possible outcome of trying to recover from feeling as a child that I wasn't really worthy. I wanted to change that when I became a parent. And mostly I didn't become my mother! Ha ha.
