Family Mission Statement
One of my friends came up with a Mission Statement for her family, writing out all the things she hopes her kids carry with them as they grow and assert their independence. My very favorite statement: “BE KIND TO YOURSELF: There are plenty of people who are happy to tear you down. Don’t be one of them. You are an amazing person, you are good looking, you have everything going for you.” Read the rest of what she wrote, and then share what you’d include in your own family’s Mission Statement.
