In celebration of mothers day, I asked my own mom what the best part of being a mother is, to which she responded that she most enjoys being friends with her adult children. My mother and I spent many years struggling in our relationship and I am so thankful to say today that she is one of my very best friends. In this episode, we discuss how we went from a tumultuous relationship to the friendship we have today. She also offers advice for enneagram 4 moms from wisdom that she has gained in her 30 years of parenting. If I tried to write down her recipe for how to be friends with adult children, it would include fun and games upon games, humility, forgiveness, effort, and lots of good food around her table. The enneagram has been instrumental in creating a good relationship between my mother and I. But, certainly, the even greater secret can be found in looking at the faith of my mother. The truth about humanity is that we mess up and break things. Restoration of relationship is always a miracle and is only possible through the power of compassion and forgiveness, and through choosing love. I am so thankful that my mother instilled these values in me and that today I have her as a friend. My mom is equal parts fun, supportive, and good. She makes life a party, but she also knows how to create order and command a room. She is the queen of hospitality and is the most generous person I know. Your kids love you and appreciate you, Mom. Happy mothers day!!
