Having the privilege of watching both of my children chase their dreams. In doing so I get to help them learn how to pick themselves up after a fall, dust off and go again because of their passion and desire. I also get to watch as the spread their wings and soar. Seeing their pride after a victory or determination after a loss and how they look to me to make sure I am present and watching is beyond rewarding.

The balance of holding my babies up and always standing strong for and with them, but also knowing when to let go of the reigns enough for their own growth to occur and lessons to unfold. I’m not perfect at this. It is a work in progress, as I always want to protect my babies, but allowing them the space and grace to make mistakes and learn from them are life lessons they will carry through their lives.

I would put it in an accessible account to help fund my daughter’s passion for competitive dance and my son’s passion for his wrestling career. They are so talented, passionate and determined at such young ages. The hours they pour into their respective crafts is admirable and inspiring. I am just along for the ride on their journeys to follow their dreams. We struggle to keep up with the ever growing costs and it would go to ensuring that money is NEVER a reason they can’t follow their dreams.
