when i first meet people they sometimes say to me you work with parents parenting must be easy for you i laugh at one time it was when my son was little before all that s-t-r-e-s-s parenting was easy-n-free i only saw the best in my son and we worked through problems +challenges from our place of strength + goodness then life happened and our connection ruptured before my eyes patience out the window no longer did i long to sit on the floor and play my days away i longed for time alone to heal to get to the other side stronger than ever today a different day not like it was when he was a baby nor like it was for that year times have changed better than ever everyday i do my best to remember my baby boy my little bugaboo is still inside of him and that mother who loves unconditionally is still inside of me but now he has homework + chores and i'm called everyday to be strong for him compassionate + assertive to be the mom and the dad at home to do my best to raise a gentleman to hold life in Grace with growth + challenges all existing under our umbrella of goodness my phoenix baby taught me that every year on his birthday i give him my gift more presence + more patience a commitment to the best of me to bring out the best in him in this 7th year of him and beyond the unfolding + the growing the laughs + the learning that awesome place of being his teacher + coach while knowing all along he is my greatest teacher

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
