About At My Pace

---

At My Pace is a series designed to add understanding to our lives through a candid sharing of experiences around a select topic. In Lessons from Our Mothers, thirty eight contributors share one important lesson they've learned from their mom. With humor and insight, the stories speak to mothers' lasting impacts. Meet:

• Ruth, whose mum detests "shoulds" and breaks conventional barriers by becoming a carpenter before World War Two;
• Marsha, whose mom's rallying cry about lipstick goes far deeper than surface beauty;
• Elyse, who reluctantly tastes pineapple upon her mother's urging and finally understands her call to "grow up";
• Noah, who learns from his mom that even if life's not fair, you can still dance the night away;
• and Laurel, whose mom shows her that divorce doesn't have to be a war of roses but can be a path towards civility.
