We all want/need to be the most well-rounded, full versions of ourselves, right?

thanks for seeing that this isn't about changing dc, but making sure dc gets to "be all dc can be", and by extension. we can "be all who we can be" together.  

my teacher head is often more tolerant than my mama heart... as a teacher, i can look at who a child is and try to figure out how best to help in that moment, or that year.  but as a parent, i worry about the future and how X now will impact Y later on.  maybe i should just start thinking of my kids in terms of a one year basis, like i did in school, lol.
