My mother used to remind me every day as I got ready for school, "Remember Gina, you're smart, you're beautiful, and you're a good friend." I never lost sight of that, no matter what life threw at me. So just think, there's nothing stopping you from helping your daughter remain just Kora, as long as you believe it's possible.<br /><br /><3 Gina BlechmanG Blechmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707186693109337726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-13658300680505240812011-04-05T16:56:10.643-07:002011-04-05T16:56:10.643-07:00AWE.SOME.

Sometimes I have to rein her in with the, "Hello! You're only eleven!" bit, but I try not to keep too tight a rope on her.
