I've struggled some with feeling that I am great at things that often are rather invisible to larger society. I'm a badass mom. I put a lot in it. I have sacrificed a lot of other things to raise amazing kids. They're truly wonderful people. This is something I feel our culture doesn't really value.

In fact, for lack of a better word, many feminine gifts are really undervalued. Let me just be clear that I understand that many men posses these traits and take on these roles. I'm talking about things like teaching, caregiving, nurturing, compassion, communication, collaboration, etc.

Anyway, I'm gonna keep on being badass at it. I can always shake it off, but it does hit me sometimes.
