Children

When they are little, they are so cute, charming, lovable and huggable.  Then they hit their teens.  OWZA. 

My experience is that they bring so much LOVE into our life and teach us like no other teacher can.  Their love, drive, hobbies, interests and ways of doing things can be so different than our own.  They shed new and different light on almost everything that I have known and gathered for myself over the years.

To parent them is to guide and help them live their best lives to their best abilities.  It is not always easy when their best lives are so different from what I would consider my own best life. 

To be open, trusting, honest and patient are some of the 'gifts' that help me to survive.  Perhaps, these 'gifts' are further and deeper lessons from my child. 

If I can survive who I am while living so close to my teen... THIS is to know my own power.  Ha.

Thank you, my beautiful child, for teaching me so much.


May you know your own power today and LIVE IN IT.
