Oh Megan!!! Some thoughts: Your NOW is always going to be a tapestry of old and new - like a quilt put together of scraps and pieces of life and love and sad and bad - ALL of it has formed you into the complex, wonderful person you are today. Got to remember - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You can't just wipe it out and let it go!!! YOU are the sum total of ALL your experiences - as we all are. Every minute of your life has brought you to today. You can't just throw it away. Somehow you have to embrace it, wrap yourself up in it, accept it - Love your WHOLE self. This made sense when I started it - but now..... there's some SENSE in it somewhere. Love you a whole lot!!

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
