A Reflection On The End Of Life

My cousin Cindy died last night.  The cancer came in and polluted her body and it was more than she could survive.  She is in peace now.  She is my age. I find myself with a different perspective on death and dying than it seems most people have.  There is a lot of talk about how it shouldn’t have happened and about how sad it is.  I try and try to find the sadness and it doesn’t come.  I had the same experience several years ago when my sister-in-law died and last year when my grandpa died.   It creates a challenge for me when choosing how to communicate with family and friends.  There are socially acceptable things that people say when someone passes. “I’m sorry.” “It’s so sad.” “Poor _______.” “They...

All They Need Is Love (Ba Ba Duh Da Da…)

Yeah, the Beatles song is trailing through my head right now.  But that's not what I want to talk about. When you are struggling as a parent, no matter WHAT the situation or circumstance, ask yourself "What is my highest intention with my children?"  Then, get quiet (hopefully sitting still for a few minutes) and wait for the answer.  My hunch is that it will have something to do with LOVING them.  Always. I believe this is one of the greatest aspirations for any parent: TO LOVE MY CHILD NO MATTER WHAT. It's not so easy at times! This is just a reminder to ask what LOVE would do, when you feel yourself spinning out of control.  Then, do that.  Even if it contradicts what you did 2 minutes...

Back To School, Back To Sick? No way!!!

With the start of school, many parents know that it is the beginning of the kids bringing home sniffles, coughs and other “unwelcome boogers” (pun intended) to share with the whole family.  Yes, it’s true that bugs and viruses love to follow the short people around, just waiting for the right time to invade!  We make it easy for them when we aren’t taking good care of our bodies and our well being.  This includes (especially) our children.   How do we keep those pesky critters away from our home and our families? Well, ask yourself these questions: 1. Are my kids getting enough sleep?  Depending on their age, children need anywhere between 8.5 hours (minimum for teens) and 14 hours (for toddlers) EVERY DAY. 2. Do my children drink...

Earthquake Wisdom

This was a powerful experience I had a couple of months ago with my children.  I wrote about it in my journal but haven't shared it.  Till now ;) It is a beautiful example of how our kids can be our greatest teachers.  Enjoy! I fell asleep in Matthew’s bed.  After a short time, I thought he was shaking his leg and the bed was moving.  I woke up and decided that he wasn’t going to sleep, so I got up and left his room.  Just then, Mandie came out of her room and followed me downstairs and asked if I had felt the earthquake.  I realized that Matthew WAS asleep and that the earthquake had awakened me.   I have always been terrified of earthquakes, ever since I...

Not So Random Quote For The Day ;)

"It all works out in the end.  If it isn't worked out, it isn't the end." ~Unknown   This has come up for me several times lately and I wanted to share it.  It has been my mantra for many days when I felt the heaviness of life upon me.  I completely believe this to be true.  I believe that we live in a friendly universe and that we are being supported and held in love at all times, even when, perhaps especially when, we feel overwhelmed and/or out of control.   What does this mean to you?  I'd love to hear your interpretation.  Please share in the comment section below. And remember to KEEP BREATHING. With LOVE <3...

Day After Year

I've been grieving.  My marriage of more than 15 years is over.  I am learning what it is to fall apart and face a blank slate with choices and fears and dreams.  It is miserable and magical.  (credit T Swizzle ;))  And I'm doing it with my kids.  So many lessons are being learned, about life, love, responsibility, self, expectation, forgiveness.  Much is so raw right now that it's challenging to frame it all in a neat piece of writing.  For now, I'm going to share a poem that I wrote yesterday just upon waking in the morning.  The words were there as I came out of sleep and I followed the simple directions and wrote them down.  Little did I know that it would...

I am so sick of all the ‘rules’ that we think we must live by.  Eat this.  Don’t eat that.  Do this to be happy.  You must be thin.  You must be popular.  You must be smart, sexy, important, wealthy, NORMAL, happy, strong, successful, understanding, nice to others, at peace, on time, clean, polite, and make everyone else around you happy, too.  Don’t forget to get enough sleep, exercise, always do your best, use your blinker, be patient, LOVE everyone and always always always honor your commitments!  WAIT!!  You still need a good tan, to fix what is “wrong” in your family, help others, save money, be responsible, and do the RIGHT THING!!!   Truly, the list of THINGS WE MUST DO goes ON AND ON AND...

STRONG.

STRONG.   What do you think of when you read that? Do you feel strong every day? What does it mean to be strong?   Merriam-Webster defines Strong as: 1. having or marked by great physical power, 2. having moral or intellectual power, 3. having great resources (as of wealth or talent).   I think that just describes every woman and girl I know!   What I know is that in order to connect with our strength, it is necessary to practice BEING in our strength.  What does that mean?  It means choosing situations and activities that strengthen you.  It also helps if you can avoid those that weaken you.   Think of a time in your life when you have felt the most strong.  Where were you?  What were you doing?  Who were you with?  Have you revisited that...

Another year comes to a close.  It’s a time for looking back.  And LOOKING FORWARD.   Are you making resolutions?  Historically, I have not made a practice of it.  I have always held a belief that New Year’s Resolutions were a way to set ourselves up for failure.  I hadn’t heard stories of people telling how their resolutions were followed through and their lives were better for it.  I HAD heard many tales of how after a few weeks (if that) on the new diet, exercise program, etc., that person was drinking in the bar with friends over cheese fries calling it a lost cause!   This year is different for me.  I have had the pleasure these past few years of surrounding myself with people who ARE making resolutions...
