When I released the first part of this episode, I couldn't help but remember the letter that I wrote to my children when my mentor, Ed Beard, asked me to do this exercise. I immediately started searching the house for the journals that I keep, the magical place that I write to my kids. I don't write as often as I would like to but I opened those journals to the VERY first entries I made. 

In this episode, I read you the letter I wrote my son and daughter. I wanted to read it to you first but I get choked up when I do because the most beautiful thing was realized. The very things that I wrote to them in the future, the future without conflict or anguish is here. Every bit of chaos and frustration that was happening in our lives at that time has resolved and our lives are so harmonious now. Both kids are doing so well and have grown out of that season of struggle. 

Today's episode is vulnerable but it's so important that you understand that if you are in a season of struggle right now, you won't be there forever.

If this episode prompted you to write a letter to yourself a year from today and you feel compelled to share it with me, I'd love to read it on the podcast (anonymously of course).
