It took me a minute to digest what she said.
On a typical Thursday evening in the Wade household, while I was organising her packed lunch, sorting washing, making dinner and doing the usual 50,000 other jobs that need to be done…..
She told me she was proud of me.
It was that simple.
But from an 11 year old, it meant everything.
In a world where children and young people are besotted with influencers on social media.
They spend their time striving for that ever changing ideal of whatever they think perfection may be.
I am quietly (without realising it) inspiring my daughter and making her feel proud of her Mum.
And I see her growing and changing almost daily now.
Watching her and listening to her trying to help others, not judge and treat everyone as equals makes me so happy!
I have never given much thought to what my “legacy” would be when I’m no longer here.
But looking at everything that You Don’t Own Me and DIP in and out with Lucy Podcast has achieved in such a short space of time, I’m excited to see how that legacy will play out!
We never know how much good we are doing and how much our children watch what we do, until they say something to you that makes you realise you are making a difference in the world.
So, I urge you to enjoy this FABULOUS day. And feel proud of yourself for all that you are and all that you do.❤️
