It's never too late, ever. Start now. Start today. Lauren is smart and highly observant. She will notice your shift. She might even test you... actually, who am I kidding, she <em>will</em> test you, but you'll soon find an even stronger relationship with her. As she continues to grow into her own sense of self, like me, Lauren will look back at the marvelous things you've done to lift her up, the challenges you faced together and the way you chose to navigate through those with her. It's not about being the "perfect" parent, it's about getting rid of the ego, the have to's and the shoulds, and listening to your kids and doing what works for them. And guess what? You'll find it works wonders for you, too. I am passing your appreciation on to my Mom and I know you will continue, as you have from day one, to nurture your kids in incredible ways. Turn that Mother's intuition on and work it! Love and hugs, Lacy Barbara,

Last weekend was certainly proof that beautiful relationships live silently within the small yet pivotal moments where we have the choice to decide how we want to make others feel and whether we will merely be here, or show up. I don't know how, but Mom has mastered the art of showing up, fully present, and with a smile with my name on it. What a gift. I am so glad this inspired you to see your Mom in new and beautiful ways. It's all there, if you just look for it. I continue looking and everyday I learn something new, everyday I am fascinated, humbled, and amazed. Thank you, Tressa.

What you have brings tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart! I so wanted this type of relationship with my beautiful Lauren. I believe it is not too late and I believe what you have shared is essential in relationship building. Oh Lacy it is so obvious by the way you light a room with your positive presence and joy!

I am proud to be a mom and believe I can recover and receive the relationship I so desire. lacy thank you for being so special to me. Luv you. Barbara thanks mom ( Lacy's mom) you are so special!

I wish I had thought of these lessons so clearly years ago, BEFORE I started raising my own children. Lacy, thank you for sharing these truths. And to your mom, thank you for being the kind of mother that teaches your daughter through such an example. (You are the beauty of mothering.) This made me grateful for my own mom and gave me a push to remember the simple but most important parts of being a mom. WOW.
