In another life, I’d be photographed by Mario Testino or Annie Leibovitz. Fantastical fabric draped across a delicate canvas, people would pay to paint their stories on me. And I’d let all my colors reach through the lens, share my light with the world.

Wouldn’t that be a fun fact to share with my daughters in old age? Flipping through old, glossy editorials…”look, there’s your mom. See how fantastic she was?”

Of course, I know I won’t have to prove how fantastic I was. They’ll already know. I want to teach them so many things. I want to teach them how to validate themselves, so they spend more time refining their confidence and less time seeking proof from others. I want to teach them the power of eloquence, compassion, and proper grammar. I love those little ladies. They are such angels.
