My son went to a birthday party the other day and we were both blown away by these amazing “sushi cupcakes.” When I asked the mom about her works of art she said, “This is the only thing I do right,” with a laugh. Though I find that hard to believe (she seems like a really kind and attentive mom), it struck me just how hard we are on ourselves. I was touched by (and could relate all to well to) her vulnerability and varying feelings of adequacy and inadequacy, regardless of where the truth lies.
