Great teachers !

Holiday's often bring up mixed feelings. Take the time you need today to BE with yourself, any hurt parts that need some extra support. Support could be quiet time, could be sharing a story and the feelings that bubble up as you share without judging yourself, could be re-creating something you loved as a child in memory and honor of that child. Here is a wonderful post by Sark on how she worked with her childhood hurts. Hint: Time, reflection, sharing, playtime.

I see it everyday. In myself, in my family and friends, and in my precious clients. Never Enough is a mantra we all practice. How about tuning into where you are on this in this moment. Deep slow exhale. Replace that message to "I am enough in each and every moment by just being me." While parts of you may not believe it, parts of you are listening and will drink that in and feel supported.

I often talk with parents about putting more money in their emotional bank account with their kids. Day to day life can get very "to do" focused and then we all collapse and disengage from each other. Some ideas, taking turns on a set night to read a book together, making a favorite treat together, running an errand and singing really loudly together. Below is another great idea of a post it wall.
