COLOR CODE Moment from a RED mom!

"But Mom, you're a RED! You think you have to control everything!" Tearful words coming from my beautiful, sixteen year-old BLUE/WHITE daughter as she attempted, between sobs, to explain why it was so important that I trust and believe in HER instincts. A year ago, before Color Code, my response would not have been, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'll try harder honey." Difficult words for a RED, motivated by power and who likes to be right all the time. Thankfully, Color Code has allowed me to look at the relationships with my family and friends through new lenses. Because of Color Code, I am able to embrace our differences and see and cherish the uniqueness of each of us. This journey into self-awareness and acceptance has not always been easy. Some days I take two steps forward and three steps backwards. But, when I look at the smile on my teenager's face, the tears all gone, and all is right with the world, I know this journey is worth it!
