Mistakes Will Be Made and Other Realizations

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel Image from Rawpixel.com I’m calling 2019 my year of “Being” – as in “being okay with my insecurities” and “being true to myself in all that I do.” As I look back over the year, there were three realizations that have truly helped me into Being and here they are:  Mistakes Will Be Made...  My mantra sets just the right tone to make me smile and keep me stretching the limits of my comfort zone. I now wholeheartedly accept that mistakes are bound to happen – that carefully [...]
