Mind Your Wake

Years ago I cut out a very small magazine article that resonated greatly with me. It was about the time that I became a first time mom and I’m sure it is one of the reasons I clung so tightly to it. Life was put into a whole new perspective. It was no longer about decisions that affected just me and the realization that all along the way I pretty much had it wrong too in thinking it was all about me. The article hangs on the inside of my kitchen cabinet, still 4 years later. Every time I open it, I am reminded. May I never forget to mind my wake. Below is a quote from the article.

“I have this theory that your wake, just like a boat’s, is much bigger than you realize. Everything you do- and what you don’t do – impacts the people around you a lot more than you think.”
