What would it look like if our children could read between the lines ? If they knew the reasons that we are the way we are. The stories of our parents, our mistakes, our consequences, our triumphs,and our Christmas memories , our high school drama , and our most terrible heartbreak . Would it help them to KNOW us better? To see where we are coming from when we yell -NO, and start to panic ?  Yes ! This season , don’t close yourself off from your kids . Share with them , unfortunately , they can’t read between the lines . We need to be luminaries for them . So take off the mask , get real, light it up . The future is at stake .
