Thought for the weekend: It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard

Deana said... I love this post. It is so easy to forget to help ourselves when we are doing so much for others but I really find myself happier to help others when I take care of myself first! Love it!

queen of trees herbal said... I really loved to read this... Thank you. Good Stuff.. Many Blessings to you and I'm happy to have found your blog.. Blessings.

Mommy Spirit said... This is my philosophy, exactly, but now I can refer to it by a title--free flowing child. You so elegantly and gracefully explain the relationship between establishing healthy boundaries while giving your child an opportunity to explore their own concept of self, identity, and creativity. What a beautiful blog. I am happily following you!

Sofia said... I absolutely love this post! My favorite: Let them know every day that they matter! Their ideas and who they are matter and that they make a difference.

Betsy (zen-mama.com) said... Love the spiritual parenting ideas! I especially like:Allow them space where time doesn't exist: allowing them to be in their moment and Keep an open mind: Really listen to what they are asking for , needing, seeing, or hearing or smelling http://www.intentionalconsciousparenting.com/2010/07/free-flowing-child.html
