Connecting Soul~to~Soul instead of Role~to~Role.

Connecting Soul~to~Soul instead of Role~to~Role.

This is a note that my then 12-year-old daughter wrote to me 8 years ago when I was sick. Aww!!!

(Note: This classic throwback photo fully has me in my feels. Prep yourself for a story that is an oldie but definitely a goodie!!)

The little letter is a beautiful example of connecting soul~to~soul instead of role~to~role, as my friend Annie Burnside says. Yes, I inhabit the role of mother, and she inhabits the role of daughter. This means that I am often in the position of caring for her when she is ill. Yet guided by love, care flows in both directions.

When my sweet daughter crafted this handwritten schedule, she felt both nurturing and helpful. These are essential relationship skills.

But there’s a deeper layer too. She knows me better than just about anybody, and she knows that (like most mamas) slowing down when I’m sick is not one of my fortes. So she gave me instructions!

Reading this note, it was clear to me that I was at a fork in the road:
Path A ~ I feel guilty that she can see, clear as day, that I struggle with self-care, and believe that it’s so bad that she feels the need to step in. On this path, I drown myself in an old and self-critical story about my maternal suckiness. This, my friends, is a road to Nowheresville, USA.
Path B ~ I drop my story and let love be love. I take her loving offering at face value and follow her wise steps back to health.

Knowing where Path A gets me, l wisely chose Path B.

You see, when we love and are loved, the other guy always sees the fullness of our humanity:
*Our gifts
*Our talents
*Our growing edges
*Our warts
*Our blind spots

Kids see the fullness of their parents’ humanity. Our desire to be on a pedestal in their eyes is futile. It is far braver to lean into our imperfections and trust that our children learn from those too.
