You’ve truly blossomed into a field of work that you love and adore. You are sharing your wisdom and strengths with others, and there is nothing “sinful” or negative about that. I feel the same way when I look at the business my mom has built. I’m proud of her, and the business, but it’s not the type of pride that makes a person feel invincible or better than others who may be struggling with the same profession. It’s more a feeling of pride in the legacy a family has built, and gives you a sense of duty and loyalty to make sure it continues in the way family intended you to. You are merely living up to the hopes and dreams your parents had for you, and for that, you should definitely be proud! Much love, your niece Marian. :)

For years now, I have had times where I try very hard to tell myself that” Pride goeth before a fall”. The pride you should be feeling right now is not bad; and I don’t think you will be getting a “big head”. Just hang onto your parents wisdom and you will be just fine!! Love you- your sister, Pat

I wonder if it was part of the “Childhood of Famous Americans” series you’re referring to — probably so? I know it was part of a series because there were other similar books in the library on other historic figures — but most of them were boys and I guess I couldn’t relate to them as well. I mostly read and preferred fiction when I was a child (unlike now). But I really enjoyed that Betsy Ross book and still remember it!
