What would happen if we changed our perspective more often? I think we would see the beauty in our world more. If we were lucky, we might see it as our children do.

Perspective
My youngest daughter today taught me something about perspective. When we don't feel well emotionally sometimes all we need to do is change our vantage point, change our perspective and see what we are missing! Willow proved to me that by kneeling down I would see that there was a rainbow in our house. Children see more than we know and we as adults need to listen more than we think. Thank you for the rainbow today Willow!

Self compassion
I haven't been on here for a while and feel like I need to do some updating. Melissa and I are doing a Brene Brown course and find ourselves doing it with our kids close at hand.
When we started the course Avery was sitting with us. One of the first things we were asked to do was to write "I'm imperfect and I'm enough" on our hands them take a selfie. We did this then Avery asked us what we were doing. After and extensive conversation, Avery wrote the statement on a paper and we took a picture.
Just a little while ago some sort of accident happened or mess was made and she looked at Melissa and "it's ok right mom, I'm imperfect and I'm enough."
After hearing this we felt confident that if our kids join us on this journey of learning to love ourselves we will be happy to do it with them.

Sisterly love
Yesterday afternoon just before we took Avery to school there was a very special moment between our girls. Some how all of the love that they have been feeling for years but not expressing toward each other came out like a flood.
Willow- " Avery you'll always be my sister, I love you."
Avery- " I live you too Willow."
All of this happened while they where giving each other hugs.
It was an amazing little send off for Avery and there kind and courteous affection was beautiful.
