If you asked me what was most important to me in the world, the answer would be easy.  My sons, my family.  They are growing up so much and turning into rad young men.  I have been doing a great deal of thinking about the men I know and the things that I hope for my boys, and the things I pray my boys won’t become.  There are a lot of examples of both in the men I witness.

One of the challenges of being a single mom raising sons, is that I’m not a man (I know.. hard to believe).  I feel like I’m not totally certain on a lot of things relating to boys.. as my experience.. well.. is that of a woman and a girl.

I think the best that we can do.. is BE THERE FOR THEM.  ALWAYS and in ALL ways.  BE THERE.  I try my best daily to do that, to put them first, so that they know.. yup.. she’s there.  Life is filled with uncertainty. It is also filled with magic, dreams, and love.  I hope the lessons they learn as they grow up are ones that help them to live happy, content, loving lives filled with passion and personal successes.

The only real way to help seal that deal is modeling those behaviors for them.

So far, so good… the rest we’ll take moment to moment.
