...kids who tended to lie down on the floor of Target when things weren't going their way. She was blessed with great friends (who she had little time to see). And she had a well-paying job (that she enjoyed just enough to make it palatable).
But then one day, while she was driving down the highway, "Happy" by Leona Lewis came on the radio. While she hadn't ever fully paid attention to the lyrics, one line in particular forced her to pull over:
"I could stand by the side. Watch this life pass me by. So unhappy. But safe as could be." (Now you're singing it too, aren't you? 😉)
And that she should feel fulfilled and grateful at all times.
And the fact that she didn't made her feel incredibly guilty.
So in that moment, she committed to getting real honest and taking time to identify some critical house rules—not for her kids, but for herself.
