Every time I interview a 40-something woman for 40:20 Vision I ask them what 3 “gifts” would they give a 20-something if they were a “Forty-Godmother”. Here’s one woman’s gifts:
1) The ability to say you are sorry with grace and compassion. It goes a long way.
2) A cushion — to soften your falls. They will happen again and again but you get up and you go on and despite what deals you, you can be happy again. So a spring in the cushion too!
3) The ability to see your family as people.
