in terms of our lives + inner worlds it's easy to feel separate or disconnected from ourselves in more severe terms we can disconnect so much that is becomes a way of being a state of mind where there's no connection between our thoughts memories sense of self for most of us this isn't the case it's not that extreme we just dabble in escaping we disassociate as a coping mechanism almost turned into a hobby life gets difficult enough and poof! we're gone like harry potter's floo power we apparate to a safer place in our minds so we can take a break or hide until it's safe to come out again + live our lives we want to escape forgetting in that moment how amazing we are + life is because stress takes over we forget we have the skills to get through we forget everything.is.ok. the tides will turn we are ok because we want to be here in this thing called life but we just need a little break so we sleep too much drink too much eat too much get lost in a screen we just need a little break we feel anxious depressed sometimes both because life is so much to handle sometimes it's too much i get it i feel it too and i know these little moments when i don't think i can handle it when i doubt because it all seems too much these moments add up over time weakening the core of who we are the doubt creating a false reality we ironically enter into to escape because believing trusting having faith in ourselves isn't something we were taught enough about as kids to prepare us for how hard life truly is irony is we're not prepared to handle how beautiful life is either let's change that because it's not just about coping getting by surviving it's about thriving of being truly thankful for the gift of life of believing trusting having faith in who we are of knowing 100% we got this because we don't have to do it alone we can do this thing called life together. presence simply means we fully exist we fully occupy our lives that's what i want for all of us to live fully to be fully present it's the greatest gift we can ever give our children because in fully living + embracing ourselves they learn to do the same no doubt taking over our children's lives no total overwhelm no need to check out to escape to get a break in order for them to keep living presence is the best gift we can ever give ourselves one another our children presence is the gift that keeps giving into the future generations presence is the gift i'm giving you with my upcoming eBook The Happy Home Method pre-launch party begins soon yay! until then sending you all the support in the world to believe in trust in have faith that it's all doable to truly see your thriving self in everyday life Together |

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
