...make me "smile in my liver."

That's one of my favorite lines from Eat, Pray, Love. I even wrote it down on a piece of paper (rare).

Also on that piece of paper, and from that book, and fitting right here and now:

"...little girls who make their mothers live grow up to be such powerful women."

I am feelin' the power. OMG. How I love these girls. How they give me strength.

I am also LOVING this picture -- taken by my sister Sharon over the weekend as the girls were having their picture taken from another direction!

And I still feel the same today (Thursday, November 13th!) (maybe if I write it, I'll remember it). I can't believe all that has happened in the past 6 years years. The circle of life. These girls continue to move and shake the world, each in their own way, and they inspire me every single day. I'm so proud of them.
