    Rules of Attraction: 7 Lessons on Love I Hope to Teach My Children

    My dearest daughters: I remember the very first time I saw your hearts beat. My eyes fixated on an ultrasound screen as I held my breath waiting. You were tiny, but your heartbeats were there. I remember the comfort I found in seeing that rhythmic motion and how I would eagerly look forward to my next appointment for another chance to hear that precious heartbeat. I knew what an honor and a gift it would be to get to be your mother. And so, it has been my heart's desire to guard your heart, to protect it, and to cherish it all the days of my life. But because I can't be with you every moment of every day I have to rely on my faith and hope that the lessons your father and I teach you will prepare you for life - a life that we pray is always filled with love. In celebration of Valentine's Day, here are 7 love lessons I hope to teach you! - By Krishann Briscoe

      Be the Best at Loving
      When you grow up, you will realize that I wasn't as perfect as you believed. You will realize I wasn't the best at doing the laundry (and that my best cleaning happened right after I learned we were having company). You will realize there are better chefs than I. That sometimes I wasn't really using the restroom; I was faking it for some alone time. But I hope you will see that I was really great at... more

      Be the Best at Loving
      When you grow up, you will realize that I wasn't as perfect as you believed. You will realize I wasn't the best at doing the laundry (and that my best cleaning happened right after I learned we were having company). You will realize there are better chefs than I. That sometimes I wasn't really using the restroom; I was faking it for some alone time. But I hope you will see that I was really great at one thing: loving you. It's one of the things people will remember most about you: the way you treated them, the way you valued them, and the way you loved them. less
