Key Conversation Points:

• We can bring any pain from our mothers to God.  God is father and mother to us. 
• Knowing our mothers outside of their relationships with us is something that's important for our growth.
• We are the protagonist of our own stories but remember our moms are the protagonists in their own stories too. 
• Christie graciously encourages us to try not to focus on the little fragments with our mothers but focus on the little details that could shimmer like jewels. 
• Christie and Lisa-Jo mention: "50 Things About My Mother" by Laura Brown and Mary Karr's memoirs which talk all about motherhood with details about how she navigated very difficult experiences with her mother and still found a way for a relationship.
