2018 will be the year I ... see myself through my mother's eyes

I'm sure you think this can be debated, but it simply cannot: I have the best mother ever.

She believes in me more than anyone else. Sometimes it feels like her unconditional love is all I need. She's my best friend; she's my safe place. She's perfect for me.

When people ask me what I do for work, I say I work in communications. I do social media for a nonprofit based out of Dallas and manage the web content of a medical device company. I get to work remote, and it's awesome.

When people ask my mom what I do, she says I'm an entrepreneur. She says I'm my own boss and I have clients with whom I choose to work.

How can two people interpret something so differently? I say I work for other people. Mom says I'm a BOSS.

Mark my words: 2018 will be the year I see myself through my mother's eyes. 

2018 Sarah is a boss who calls the shots. She is strong, brave and beautiful. She is everything her mom's been saying she is all along.

Who's your biggest cheerleader and supporter? Do you see yourself how he or she sees you?
