The memory I want to share also taught me a huge lesson:
To keep myself open to the possibility of YES.
My daughter and I had been out shopping when she spotted a make your own crystal activity set. Soon came "This is soooo cool" and "Please Mom can I have it". I thought it was silly - how could you make something as elaborate as a crystal that grows in the earth? No way I thought, but she persisted and so I bought it for her. I was already preparing what to tell her when she put it together and her crystal never formed.
Of course, her little project worked and instead of one - two crystals formed. I keep it out to remind myself to stop being such a pessimist, and to stay open to the possibility of YES.
What memory will you share?

Hi Bella, I love your photo and your story. Isn't it wonderful what can happen when we get out of our own way? I was still trying to decide what to write when I read your post, and knew I had to write about my son.
great story :)
P.S.
i would love to grow my own crystal and i'm sure my children would be very excited too!
Oh my girls would love that!
