I was never one of those kids who knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. Even now I’m not sure how to answer the question, “And what do you do?” If resumes were based on how we spend our time, mine would probably read, “Doggie Doorman.” Part of me wants to add “versatile, resilient and I plan for worst-case” and be done with it. You fill in the blanks.
My younger self would be shocked to hear me say I learned these things from my mother, especially since she wore her narcissist’s badge as though it were a blinking neon sign. But now I realize mother’s “poor me” mentality did me a favor. It’s precisely because she took everything in the worst possible way that made me want to be the opposite of her. In a backward twisted way, she was my role model.
Lots of women leave comments on my blog or email and tell me they appreciate my ability to take life as it comes. Many are afraid to embrace life so they stand in the shadows for fear of being noticed. Like mother, they lack self-confidence so they don’t make friends easily, and they’re apprehensive about making decisions. I want to scoop them up and hug them and tell them the woman they are today doesn’t have to be the woman they’ll be in a month or a year.
