Infectious and Inspiring Bravery – Thomas Darnell

I’m late posting this, but the last day of 11th grade and last day of first year of college was Monday for Thomas. Here are some recycled photos since I’m rarely allowed to photograph Thomas. 🤣😂🤣

I’m super proud of Thomas, and honored to get to be Thomas’s Mom. Thomas’s bravery is infectious and I am one hard core fierce Mom supporter, defender and advocate! I’ve been slowly handing matters over to Thomas so they can leave the nest on good footing to do adulting! I hope! 😜😜😜

I’m in my last year of Thomas living at home. Feels wild to even think about. Up next is senior year and second year of college. I did it! We did it!! You did it, Thomas! 💋❤️💥🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻💥❤️💋

Thanks Barbara Richmond Chastain for telling me about this book. Great and very basic book about emotional connection and mindfulness. Perfect for kids with a useful parent section too!

“If you listen to what your body can say, you’ll find that your feelings are really okay. With a bit of attention, a little more care, they might even tell you why they are there. Some feelings are tough, and some are more fun …. So whenever a feeling comes by to play, welcome it in, and let it stay for as long as it likes, …. Treat your feelings like friends, talking to you.”

Awesome!!!
