When I was 20, I took a year off of University and headed west for love and adventure. I remember telling my Mom, "all I want in life is to be is happy!" To which she mocked back, "happy, happy, happy!" She thought I was too young to know what was right and was afraid I was going to get hurt. Being a parent now, I can appreciate why she felt that way. Since then, I have made many mistakes along the way but doing everything for love - from starting a company to starting a family, has made the ride all worth it. And as hard as it was to watch me go back then, my Mom agrees now that I made the right choice. It’s hard to see when you are living it but I think you are right on – esp. #7!
