I’m so sorry about the loss of your mother and all the perfectionist expectations too. And I LOVE the bouncy ball visualisation. Gonna use that for sure! 👍

Thank you so much, Paulette. My mom is still living, but it's best for both of us if I keep my distance; my sisters will visit her. Now you know why your beautiful post about your mother touched my heart 💗

...talk about brave...wow...all the feels for y'all...my parents see me (when i let them lolz)...definitely will give mom a call today and toss her a ball or two...appreciate the prompt...finding play everyday is a great way to break the box (or to staple it to a tree and slam dunk in it)...peaces...

Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Foote. Again! I'm smiling so big at your call with your mom, that my snaggletooth hurts. Yes 🙌🏽 to more play and breaking the box open with our creative trickster pals.
