I like this metaphor of shame being a hand-me-down. Let's get a sewing machine and fashion ourselves a new set of clothes.

Oh Ems. You got me bawling. Imagine that. I think I need to make this a daily read.

And I canNOT flippn wait for the day I get to read this to my babes. And look THEM in the eyes. And thank them for giving their mama these NEW hand-me-downs. Because they are the one (well, four) gift that Creator gave me that knew would keep this gal going.

And let me be graced with you for that one soft, safe place to BE along the way.
