THE WEB OF PARENTING
By Louise Hadfield
Hello Parents (and parents to be, and parents’ villagers),
Today, I start a new journey…truth be told it’s a very, very, very old and long journey…a journey to being my true and wonderful self.
A clear, loud and *hopefully* helpful lighthouse to that special village of parents who needs to see the light I can provide.
A light from a completely fallible parent and human being!
DISCLAIMER: I AM DESIGNED TO SEE PATTERNS. I AM DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE OTHERS OUT OF THEIR STUCKNESS. THESE ARE SOME OF THE GIFTS THAT I SHARE AND AT TIMES MAY BE BADLY PERCEIVED. THAT’S OK. IT IS PART OF THE JOURNEY. SO, IF YOU FEEL YOUR BUTTONS BEING PUSHED BY WHAT I WRITE – GOOD! YOU ARE OPEN TO SHIFTING OUT OF YOUR STUCKNESS! GO YOU!
So, let’s get started…PARENTING!
This is such a massive topic – I typed “parenting” into Google and it showed “About 217,000,000 results”. That’s HUGE! I mean, if I were to read all that information, I would have ZERO time to actually parent!
Oh, and I get the irony of me adding to that number by the way 😊
That said, I believe we all find what we need when we need it, and one of my biggest wishes for this world is to create closer knit communities.
I whole-heartedly believe it takes a village to raise our children.
We are all in need of help, perspective-and sometimes…or often…a place to openly say “I have NO idea what I’m doing” and have someone else say, “Me neither. Let’s figure it out together.”
So what? You may be asking.
Well, I am inviting all you parents out there to join me on a wonderful journey into your past, your present and imagining (and practicing) your new future of accepting yourself as the perfectly imperfect human being that you are…and then go beyond that to understanding how you possess wonderful gifts to offer your family and the world.
To begin the journey the next step is SIMPLE…
Show up and read my next post.
When your confidence waivers…Remember-
YOU ARE THE EXPERT IN YOUR OWN LIFE!
Be kind to yourself.
You deserve to be treated with kindness, patience and eternal love.
