My letters to my children:  Traver tasked me with writing a letter to both my children about the importance of the transformation that I'm trying to undertake.

I don't include their names here but my daughter is first, followed by my son. You can find them here. Letter to Daughter and Letter to Son After completing the exercise, it actually inspired me a bit to double down on these efforts. I spoke truths to my kids in these letters, truths they'll learn in life. I'd rather they learn those lessons from me and the example I set than from anywhere else. What's My Why?
