Earlier in the month during the super bowl game, Christina Aguilera makes a mistake singing the National Anthem. They don’t let it slide; it is on every home page on the internet within the hour. Hey she made a mistake; I don’t think she intended to forget the words.
We all make mistakes and for that matter we make choices that aren’t always supported by our friends. As a mom I feel I have tried hard to teach my kids the right ways, yet, I am learning they will make mistakes and have to learn from their choices. It would be nice if our kids only made the right choices, drove the speed limit and got their homework completed on time, studied hard in college, didn’t swim with their camera in their pocket…. I am learning that my role as mom isn’t necessarily to keep them from making mistakes and learning life lessons. My role is to guide and teach them how to handle the mistakes, teach them to take responsibility for making bad choices, learn and move on. Because as becoming Jayne….I find I continue to make choices that might not be in my best interests. I can be impulsive letting my heart and desires lead the way. Sometimes I am hurt and lessons learned. We are all going to blunder make mistakes, friends and loved ones may approve of our life choices or they may not. In becoming Jayne, it’s not if I will make mistakes, it is how I handle myself with grace and gentleness.
