Oh my. I second what Caroline said. All up in my feelings, with some laughter thrown in! Life is all about learning, humility and getting to a place where we give people permission to misunderstand us. Whatever right? Know thyself! Loving your stories and you! ox

Great article, Kristin. Love the confluence and the resonance of teacher and mother. I believe, for the moment, that I have caught up with your incredible writing. Thank you, my friend.

Nanny Shirley used to say fool me three times and you’d better run.

This is me running 🏃.

More facts. That guy told me I should make and sell my sugar cookies and thought I should stop talking about the past. Please. It's clear I do see everyone so I do hope he's still luring around and sees this one.

Again these are facts.

I hope he does too. We all know he’s a jerk

Luring was a typo, but I’m going to leave it stand actually. I was in my early spiritual days when I met him, but surprise not really. 😂

You got that right. Remember that man is the man who used to be a deejay? Used to tell me he didn’t want to hear about my ho days and haha that the deejay hates when I asked him to play It Takes 2 because it was the white girl anthem 😭😭😭

I said the deejay always played my song 💯💯💯

Correct very cultural sometimes and I study that too at work. Use it to help people get what they need. Oops also stoicism- big phenomena with so many of our veterans.

So no one better come at me in my comments section for any of my comments which I will almost always stand by. Unless they are prepared to prove me wrong before they have proven themselves wrong. 💯

I am absolutely STEALING this: "to me bitch is a word for wolf mother." Wasband accused me of being a bitch during our divorce. He still doesn't know how right he was. Anyhow, I love this (as usual).

Amazing moms everywhere! ❤️

And, {clears throat}, what's wrong with left-handed people?!? 🤨

Well both of my husbands were left handed actually, both salesman too

😂

It’s my preference to stay away from left-handed salesman while acknowledge the creativeness of the deviant mind.

It’s deviant in medical terms, Latin root. Left eye- ocular sinister OS

I’m sure you know this though

Thanks for the comment, I know my mom will appreciate the support.

You're very welcome, Kristin! Really enjoy reading your posts that come from such a raw and unfiltered place. The best kind of writing!

And as for left-handedness… Unfortunately, I've been told a lot of this as a child. Lol… sometimes, I think my family hated me. 😂

But this is a great read on left/right, etc.
