Today you burst through the door to hug me first, before your brother could get to me..Today you asked for water to help calm your soul.Today you reminded me that you are just me, and I am just you. So together we can choose to make one hot mess, or one happy bundle of love…“I love you and I thank you for being my child”.

Sometimes we believe that have no choice in our circumstances. Sometimes we think that our challenges in life are just thrust upon us. What if we were to look at it a different way though? …I was given the idea a month ago by a friend, colleague, and mentor, to use the ancient Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono to find love inside me for all, and to take responsibility for the creation of the world that I live in to make it the best it can be…

I used to take the styrofoam wrappers from the bottoms of old-school glass soda bottles and wrap them around my wrists, fashion a cape out of the afghan from the living room, put on my Wonder Woman bathing suit, and spin endlessly in the yard until I felt dizzy and could see stars.
It is the times when we decide to let things be that we discover that we can make a paradigm shift. You have a point of choice…. you have an opportunity. Which way will it go for you?
Yesterday, I was continuing to ponder the idea of “Doing” vs. “Being”. It suddenly dawned on me that we don’t ask a child- “What do you want to DO when you grow up?”. We ask them, “What do you want to BE when you grow up?”. This was an amazing discovery to me, because then […]
