My Mom once told me that she walked into a room where a couple of friends were discussing her, they didn’t know she was there. She shook her head, smiled, and walked away. 
My Mom also told me that she had a friend who talked badly about her, she never knew that Mom found out, and Mom never mentioned it. She smiled and walked away from this friendship.
She told me she had family who chose to shift her out of their life because she stood up for herself for a change. And because she stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even help her cross a bridge. She smiled, shook her head, and walked away.
So I asked her how she could just walk away from people who betrayed her while pretending to be her friends or family.
She answered that every time she came to a crossroads like that, she had to decide who would be going forward on her journey with her. This showed her who she could not take along with her.
So she explained to me that you should never get mad at a person who betrays you, even in the name of friendship or family. Just gracefully bow out and enjoy your journey with all the new people God puts in their place.
That is some amazing advice from
your Mom
I need to remember this
Thanks for sharing
Awesome advise for sure
Mother’s are amazing . When we listen closely we learn so much from them.
Yes they are amazing!
Wow! Debbie, your mom was a wise woman! Great advice! My mom shared a lot of wisdom,too!❤️
Moms are the best
I love this m. I believe my mom was a lot like this. She wouldn’t say anything about anyone in a bad way. She asked a lady if she could come by and pick her up to go to church and the lady replied that she was dating a man and she couldn’t stop and let her ride with them. Sometimes I could see and tell that people cut her to the bone and she didn’t say anything.
Our mothers were very strong ladies!!
Moms. can be so special that’s for sure.
Love this ❤
Linda, me too
Great advice. Your mother was a very smart woman.
Karla, we should all be this wise
This is the best advice anyone should follow, your Mother was a wise woman. Words hurt, we should always be careful what we say about people.
Mothers are or can be such a source of inspiration, mine was. I hope yours was too.
