“My feeling is it is almost always best to err on the side of mercy and love. There are many parenting ‘mistakes’ that can be ameliorated by lots and lots of love, and the feelings of security it can bring. I also believe that I sometimes need some mercy and love myself.” -- BarelyKnitTogether READ POST

“Here’s something that fear will never tell you. You don’t have to feel this way. Fear only tells you about fight or flight. It never tells you that the mountain in front of you is of your own making.” -- Guy Finley READ POST

Happy Tuesday! Want to rock your life? Do these 3 simple things every day this week:
1. Do something from your Joy list to nurture yourself, so your cup is
full enough to overflow with joy toward your child. Don't have a list
of the things you can do to help you feel joyful? Make one, right now!
Put it up and keep adding to it every day.
2. Spend fifteen minutes in private, unstructured, loving interaction
with each child, preferably including lots of listening and snuggling.
Can't get your kid to engage? Try physical games, the kind you would
play with a baby -- kiss each toe, give a massage. Resist the urge to
tickle, teach or engage with any kind of technology. Just be -- and
let love rush in.
3. Find something to be grateful for every minute. Gratitude
transforms our mood, attitude, actions, how we perceive our world. If
all you do is offer appreciation all day long -- to your child, your spouse,
yourself, Life -- you'll find your whole day transformed.
May your week be filled with miracles, large and small.

don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your
distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective
relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to
get very far." --Daniel Goleman

"Want to feel as playful and vibrant as your children? Want to feel an abundance of energy? Want to experience greater clarity in all you do? Want to wake up jazzed about the day ahead? Imagine taking care of yourself in all the marvelous ways you take care of others. It makes sense that, if you shifted self-care onto the top of your priority list, you would feel more rested, more centered, more present to your loved ones, more joyful..." -- womansfieldguide.com READ POST
