I had been (since before Halloween) in overdrive with way to many things going on and my whole life, parenting included was suffering from me being so frazzled. Self care had fallen completely off my to do list. <BR/><BR/>I have slowed waaaay down and things are much better.The Other Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618067911224855096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554620410061286429.post-3717373974203608282008-11-07T02:47:00.000-06:002008-11-07T02:47:00.000-06:00Oh, that's wonderful -- that moment of compassion ...Oh, that's wonderful -- that moment of compassion and acceptance. I've met a few people who it just shines effortlessly from, and it always makes me want to be a better person, to pass it on. :)<BR/><BR/>And isn't it fantastic to hear someone speak whose words resonate within you like that?<BR/><BR/>I think that when kids are given a chance to know who they are on the inside, and be comfortable with that, they are less vulnerable to outside events and influences that try to shift them from that place of knowing themselves. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it's like crossing a busy street. You don't toss a kid into traffic to learn to cross. You hold his/her hand, accompany, communicate, before knowing that they have the confidence and ability to cross by themselves.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yawn. That Owen woke me gasping for breath, after a coughing bout. Scared me to death. I want to stand over him and watch him breathe while he sleeps, but I have to go try to get some sleep and trust that he will wake me if he needs me. :/<BR/><BR/>xxxoooLaura/CenterDownHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429332908819366130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554620410061286429.post-28560317725652420442008-11-06T22:47:00.000-06:002008-11-06T22:47:00.000-06:00Hi Laura,I know exactly what you mean about often ...Hi Laura,<BR/>I know exactly what you mean about often feeling out of place w/other parents, and about the big, bad world out there . . . what a wonderful evening; restores your faith in all that's good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554620410061286429.post-44702923819021764592008-11-06T21:30:00.000-06:002008-11-06T21:30:00.000-06:00I don't know this author/speaker so I will have to...I don't know this author/speaker so I will have to go check her out.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like an amazing evening.
