You might not know this,
but you, too, are a makeshift genius!
We all are, we can't help it. We do our best to get by - day in and day out - doing what we need to do to survive this crazy thing called life (to quote Prince, RIP). Some days, I wish a was a little more genius and a little less makeshift, but there we go. Instead, I fumble through motherhood and midlife in the Midwest, hoping that my honesty will inspire others to share their own makeshift genius. We really are all in this together, we might as well keep it real. Thanks for joining me!
