finding joy

"I Didn't Sign Up For This!" ::
Living in an anti-pleasure culture -- where sacrifice
and toil are glorified while pleasure-seeking is
disdained -- we've been conditioned to *tolerate*
unpleasant states like boredom and confinement.

But such states feel bad for a reason: they suck! :-)

So if you find a particular aspect of parenting
boring or confining, don't tolerate it! Instigate
a personal revolution and proclaim...

    "I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!"

You didn't intend to *suffer* through parenthood.
You wanted to bring more joy into the world.
Love and joy: THAT'S what you signed up for!

With that awareness, you can set a new standard.
Raise the bar. Don't settle for tolerable
unpleasantness. If you can't see a more pleasing
way to proceed, just be still, remember your true
intentions, and be open to inspiration.

This is not about having zero tolerance for your
child. It's not about your child at all!  It's about
listening to *your* Inner Guidance and *honoring* it.

When you honor your Guidance, it honors you *and*
your child.

Waiting

This week I am practicing living in the moment.  There are a few exciting things coming up that my mind just wants to plan.  Today, an email came that said to expect a call from Brain Balance this week.  We will set up an appointment for an assessment for their program.  The surprise was that we could start the program within a few days of the results!  I am not quite ready for that in my head and preparation wise.  I have butterflies!!  Excitement and a little anxious. 

We are having a great day so far.  Kate woke up happy and clear.  Kate and I played while Matt made breakfast.  Nice and smooth. 

Today was the first official start of Snow Angel.   It is for the release of the Galant primitive reflex.  We will do this exercise together twice a day. .  It only took about 15 minutes of encouragement!!  That is amazing.

Matt and Kate are in the playroom right now.  Peaceful.

Big Spirits

Our children are always doing the best they
   can to stay connected to their BIGness --
   in a world that expects them to be small.

I think this goes for adults too!

2012

Success in all things.  That is the focus of this year.  Right now it's shaping up to be a wild ride full of new discoveries and adventures.  I think I'd better write these things down.....
