Often times a parent will find themselves in the quagmire of why things are the way they appear to be, or why “it” isn’t working. “It” isn’t working because the parent is asking why “it” isn’t working.  What ever “it” is. 

One thing that I have found is that many times parents-people in general are seeking out alternative ways, energetic ways  of re-parenting themselves in such a way so that they can be empowered adults who lead by example free of the old chains that had them bound so tightly.  Freeing oneself from the quagmire of how we think things are is exhilarating.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine just the other day about how many people are recognizing that they are now finally ready to accept what many call their “birthright.”  I really like the term “birthright.” It feels as natural to me as breathing in and out.  At any rate, here is what I said during the conversation:

” It all begins with empowering people to be the magnificent beings that they truly are. Reminding people how to shine. It is then that the dramatic shift happens, folks realize that they can create the life they thought only other people had. People are more open now, they are even energetically seeking solutions that are spiritually based using the principals of Universal Laws.”

Yes, I do believe that there is a powerful shift going on.  A shift in the way folks like you are thinking.  It reaches beyond our own individual lives.  When a person re-parents him or herself  it is then they can begin to view their world from a different perspective.

Something that I would call divine intervention occurred within the past 24 hours in my life and I wanted to share it with you.

Many of you know that I am a single parent.  My daughters father is involved in her life and they are together every other weekend.   Many weekends they go away to one of his vacation homes.  Such was to be the case this weekend. 

My daughter and I are very energetically connected, she being an Indigo child is fully connected to who she is and I just love that.  One of the things that she does is to call me and say good morning or good night or just let me know what she has discovered.  So it was not unusual for her to call last night and let me know that her dad and her were going to head out to his river house.  Nor was it unusual for her dad to decide to head out on the road at 8:00 PM. 

What was unusual was that I felt compelled, strongly compelled to ask that her Angels surround her for this trip.  So I asked and released the request then I went on about my evening.

There was no surprise when my daughter called me early this morning, I was expecting her call which would let me know that all was well and they were about to go and play on the river. 

Boy did the Universe have another thing instore for my daughter to share with me!  The call started out with her ever so cheerful “hi mom, whatcha’ doing?” to which I responded to that which I believed to be where she was “oh I see you guys are at the river.”

Well not exactly-

You see her dad decided to grab a couple of hours of sleep before heading out.  Both he and my daughter had agreed to leave around 1:00 or 2:00 AM.  That would put them at the river by 6:00 AM, they’d have a full two days to play.

Well, he slept until 5:00 AM giving them a much later start than originally intended.  Nontheless they set out for the river.  About two hours into the drive the left rear wheel came off of the truck.  He was able to maintain control of the vehicle and got it over to the roadside.  Of course the vehicle had to be towed back to his house and the trip was cancelled.

It would have been very easy for any parent to react to my daughters big adventure from a fear based perspective.  Instead of reacting from a fear based perspective I simply listened to my beautiful powerful Indigo child recount the adventure she had just been on. 

I felt complete utter joy and took comfort in the knowing that I had infact trusted my own inner guide when I felt the pull to ask for the Angels to be with her on this trip.  I did not dismiss the pull thinking that there was no need to ask or that I was simply hearing or feeling that pull based on my own fear of the trip that they were going to take.

We all have the ability to tap into our inner guide.  Some call it Source Energy or All That Is.  Whatever you may call it, GOD, Budda, Abraham, it matter not.  It is all the same.  It is the basis of all creation and I for one am so very joyful to be connected to that loving flow of energy.

When was the last time you gazed upon something in complete and total awe?

When was the last time you gave your full attention to something that your child asked you to look at or help with?

When was the last time you just sat in silence and just listened to the quiet of the moment?

Take some time to be in the moment ~ You are worth it, celebrate the fact that you are here living in this red hot moment. You can’t go back and recapture the last second. The power of you is now.

Ahhh, feels good doesn’t it?

~Peace

I was just thinking about trusting. Really trusting that all is well…really trusting that I could do what I was feeling called to do and trusting that the Universe would provide joy for my child.

As I write this it struck me that I am doing exactly what I am feeling called to do and my daughter is dancing her little heart out in the next room.  I heard the music being slowly turned up, little by little and when I took a peak into the next room she was really getting into it.  She was totally unaware of my observing her~I had to cover my mouth to keep from giggling aloud.  Her dancing is very dramatic.

We can all learn from our kids~ turn the music up and dance dance dance!

I am writing this post and feeling such an overwhelming sense of peace and joy knowing that my child is connecting with her own joy.

We can all learn from our kids~ turn the music up and dance dance dance!

Yes, we have come far…and what a fun trip it is. 

Peace~

Were you aware that 80% of everything that we learn in life we learn in the first 5 years of our lives? 80% of what we believe is possible, everything we learn to believe about what it is that we deserve we learn in the first 5 years?

Just think about it for a moment…What do you hear yourself saying to your own kids? Are you uplifting and supporting? Or do you catch yourself sounding just like your parents did? Ugh-I know that I have stood in a place and thought, Oh my gosh, I have become my mother!

Here is something that I found really interesting: On average kids are hearing 14 negative comments from well meaning parents and teachers to just ONE positive and uplifting comment. There are 14 of those “get outta there’s, why can’t you understand, don’t touch that, what part of no don’t you understand?” compared to just one “you can do it or I believe in you.”

It is no wonder that so many adults are living lives that frustrate them. Adults who really want to do something different-maybe start a business, maybe rediscover what really makes their heart sing, like painting or writing that book and getting published or even finding the courage to quit that dead end job and follow their dream. But there is a deep seed that was planted so many years ago. All of the negative support that folks heard in their early years has become what binds them to living a life of frustration.

Imagine what you could be doing if you would have been totally supported in the first 5 years of your life and beyond?

What would it be like to be supportative of your own children, no matter their age? The time is now to empower your self and your kids.

Like most parents, mine did the best that they knew how. Afterall, there is no instruction book that will cover any and all situations that parents are faced with. There are no perfect parents. We are after all human. Take each bump in the road as a learning oppertunity. Learn how to step into your full power as a parent, learn how to empower your child to be the best that they can be.

Now, please don’t get me wrong, this is not about blaming anyone for anything. It is about getting real, real about what kind of a parenting experience you want to have. You can choose to carry on with the generation(s) of old school parenting, or you can choose to create a parenting experience that will bring you peace of mind, joy and huge rewards. Break those chains that have you bound. Change your beliefs, change your parenting.

Parenting is supposed to be fun.

Many of my friends are asking what they can do to reduce the anxiety they feel when back to school time rolls around. It has become such a topic of conversation that I thought I’d share some tips here.

First what a parent needs to do is determine what their own (the parent’s) beliefs are around their children returning to school.

Here are a couple of questions that a parent can ask themselves:

Does the idea of homework provoke anxiety in me?

With the resumption of school am I finding myself feeling anxious about getting everyone out of the house on time?

Since my son/daughter will be entering high school, am I fearful of the peer pressure my son/daughter will be faced with to participate in drugs or alchol use?

You see, it is the stories that the parent is telling themselves about what their child can expect to experience in the returning to school process that is really the driving force behind the anxiety the children feel.

Children learn from their parents what anxiety is. Kids are not anxious by nature. It is a learned pattern of behavior.

When a parent can begin to control their own anxiety-their own story about what their kids will experience then the whole experience shifts in really big ways.

Once a parent can acknowledge that they are connecting to a really old story; an old belief pattern that they learned from their own parents, they can ask themselves, is this MY story or is it my childs story?

So if a parent can ask the questions and go a bit deeper into the why’s behind their feellings:

Does the idea of homework provoke anxiety in me? Why? What was homework time like in my house as a kid? Did I get the support I needed? Did I feel like nobody wanted to help me do my homework? Was getting straight “A’s” all that mattered in my house? Am I overcompensating and making the homework my homework instead of letting my child do their best?

What can a parent do to ease the anxiety that they are creating for themselves and their children?

They can begin to create their own new beliefs around back to school. They can begin to model more positive behavior for their kids. Doing so becomes like a huge ripple effect. Soon the parent finds that their own anxiety level has decreased which will decrease the anxity level in the household.
