Lately, I've been taking my inspiration from jumping.
Yes, the art of jumping. Jumping as stress release. Jumping as connection with your kids. Jumping's fun. I'm always on the lookout for that double bonus of getting some movement or exercise in and doing something fun with my son and our circle of kid friends. The double bonus. Where multi-tasking becomes magic. Just being. Enjoying and loving life. And the moment. When we get to laugh and play, and strengthen my core too. Jumping has been it lately. We made a couple visits to friends' houses with trampolines. And went to a birthday party at one of those jump places. Jumping til you can't jump no more. Usually for me because I have to pee. (Any other vaginally-birthing mamas with this problem, I highly recommend you go see Tami Kent.) Go pee, then jump a little more. Part of the magic of the jump is... that moment of exhilaration of being off the ground in the air place of freedom of defying gravity somehow beyond the physical plane but all together in it at the same time moments I long for these days magical place between me and my gold between end of summer and beginning of fall between the sky and the ground finding common ground between grown-ups and kids just jump go ahead and jump and this week, if it's not jumping for you find your own place between the heavens and the earth that place of connection with you & your children and go hang out there even if it's just for a second because a second of magic is all you need With love, Megan

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
