An Ordinary Life
My mother lived a life many would call ordinary. She was a faithful wife, a quiet presence, and a devoted mother. She attended church regularly and spent much of her spare time reading books that kept her connected to her deep and unwavering faith.
Ordinary. In today’s world, it almost sounds like a failure: no branding, no curation, no attention-seeking. Everyone wants to be unique, to be recognized. But Mom never worried about being special. She wasn’t interested in standing out. She listened far more than she talked, and she had no interest in polishing a personal brand. Her focus was simpler; to make the people around her feel special.
