Great post. I tend to color outside the lines even if I sometimes am stuck in the box... I can relate to the ruby red shoes! What a great choice. I have been thinking alot about my kids and how they are not those "smooth stones". They have ridges, grooves, and bumps. Just like mom. Just like Jesus. This is to be treasured I think. To think for oneself is a freedom that needs to be encouraged and valued from parents who DO think for themselves. Even if dressing like a gypsy is one of those "what is she thinking" things....can you say camel hair and eating locusts?? Great job at letting this baby girl's wings grow and become....

Of course, I'm a bit more relaxed about what I wear, too, come to think of it. I guess there is some wisdom that comes with age about what just isn't worth trying to even maintain the illusion of control about. Mak,
