Mom 91, Me 61 — how did that happen?

Mother/Daughter Relationships

This subject has kept countless therapists, counselors, relationship and life coaches in prosperous businesses for years. There are numerous resources out there — A quick Google search for “how to have a good mother daughter relationship” produced “About 5,210,000,000 results” in less than 1 second!

The pandemic not only brought me back to the town of my birth, Iowa City, it also brought me back to live with & care for the person who brought me home from the hospital 61 years ago. See photo of Mom — Rosie — and me below.

Now that the tables have turned, the roles have reversed, I found I have new opportunities for growth. I’m leaning into understanding what a solid, loving, forgiving, compassionate, trusting mother and daughter friendship/relationship can be.

As I write these notes, I’ll be asking for input from you, my friends/readers about this very subject. Everyone has a story. As we walk this journey together, you’ll have a sneak preview of a future “Journey Well, You Are MORE Than Enough” series book.
