It doesn't have to be a huge amount of time, just a little bit of 'me' space. I have been working on our rhythm and have created this time every morning and one day a week during Chilli's nap that is me time. I think it will create alot more balance. and 2 - we need to arrive at that place of knowing that we are bringing all that we can to that present moment and parenting to the best of our ability at that time - it is not always the way we think 'ideal' to deal with whatever certain situation is in front of us, but we do the best that we can at that moment - and that is all we can do. Arriving at these places and becoming comfortable with this knowledge creates great balance. Our children choose us knowing all our flaws, all our areas needing growth, all our ingrained and learned habits and old belief systems. They have come here to be nurtured by us, but they bring with them the amazing gift of offering us the beauty of growing ourselves - not separate to them or for them... but WITH them - that is one of the truest beauties of parenthood. You are an amazing person and wonderful mother. You are blessed and loved as is Aria to have chosen such a dedicated and open minded guide as her mother...<br /><br />ps - the link is not working, I am interested to read the link you reference :) xxxIndigomummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923214231539618383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156165247765692645.post-36401149170463503532009-10-22T07:20:58.987+11:002009-10-22T07:20:58.987+11:00You've got a beautiful way with words my love....You've got a beautiful way with words my love.
