My daughters are bad ass and so am I - May 2016

 

30 years is a long time ago.

 

How my daughter reminded me of the bad ass I am

 

At times, being the mother of a daughter can be like looking at a mirror of your past.

 

At 20 years old, my daughter is killin’ it. She has grabbed life by both hands and is out in the world making moves, taking no prisoners. She’s badass.

 

I have two daughters. My eldest is so bad-ass that she left home at 19 and never looked back. She doesn’t ask for money, in fact, doesn’t ask for anything, which at times can be a problem, at least for me. I wasn’t prepared to have her leave so young. I still had mothering to do.

 

But off she went, and made her own life. She works and loves really hard. She doesn't know how gorgeous she is, but she will learn someday. Seeing her and her boyfriend together is a testament to the strength of young love, before life complicates it. After 6 years, I think they have what it takes to go the distance. Time will tell, and she will prevail regardless.

 

My younger daughter is badass in a different way. She knows how to play her cards. She is stunningly beautiful which helps---a lot. But she’s also goofy, intelligent and graceful.

 

Yes, I’m proud. Of them, and of me for raising them, as a badass!
