Summary

At our meeting yesterday, we discovered that recognizing and acknowledging our value as mothers is not an easy task.  First, we often don't know what we do well, and second, we don't want to appear boastful.  Anyway, I urge you to continue to look for your strengths and to admit them at least to yourselves (for now).  In the next chapter, the author encourages us to develop friendships with other women, and to do so requires some transparency.  I don't think that it is by accident that the author chose this order.  And before you begin reading Habit #2, I suggest that you grab a box of tissues.
