*sigh*
indeed. i ...ack! how did i miss this?!?!?!<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />indeed. i have to say i was dying inside reading how C-girl was left standing in the middle of the room like that. it reminded me of Savannah's first karate class where it was everything i could do to not swoop in and snatch her up and take her out of there....soooo many memories of my own coming back -- oh how HARD it is to not project our own experiences onto our girls....<br /><br />i'm still struggling to identify icons and role models that i had/have....i think i purposely didn't do that as a child...i wanted to be brave and not "dependent" on some hero....<br /><br />which is, in itself, a lot to chew over...:)<br /><br />beautiful post, beautiful you....<br /><br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-39945431673241418652012-02-26T09:44:00.593-06:002012-02-26T09:44:00.593-06:00Oh, how I admire all you brave mothers out there! ...Oh, how I admire all you brave mothers out there! And, fellow Scorp, this reminds me so much of Rob Breszny's words for us earlier this month: "SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This would be an excellent time to round up a slew of new role models. In my astrological opinion, you need to feel far more than your usual levels of admiration for exceptional human beings. You're in a phase when you could derive tremendous inspiration by closely observing masters and virtuosos and pros who are doing what you would like to do. For that matter, your mental and spiritual health would be profoundly enhanced by studying anyone who has found what he or she was born to do and is doing it with liberated flair." As I've been inspired to gather new role models of my own I've been feeling quite a healing affect - something must be in the air:)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521424959799675536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-62131811867126683352012-02-24T08:26:34.378-06:002012-02-24T08:26:34.378-06:00Lis - there are so many lessons here in this post....Lis - there are so many lessons here in this post. thank you. I think our journey here weaves together the frayed parts of ourselves -parts that we need to heal - and some of that is inner-child work. I believe too, that our children mirror to us the aspects of ourselves that need more attention for healing. Everyday my sweet peanut shines a light for me to see more clearly what aspects of myself still need work. Like I say, I'm a work in progress, hopefully never 'finished' - I will learn more about my self (and others) and allow that to ripple out. You're an amazing mom, friend, and teacher (and more) thank you for sharing your life here. xoBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954870732750934545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-45106220428789126342012-02-23T15:21:59.754-06:002012-02-23T15:21:59.754-06:00your post is so powerful, lis, for so many reasons...your post is so powerful, lis, for so many reasons. i believe our children are our greatest teachers. they are our mirrors but we have been gifted that precious addition of hindsight so we so often know the possible outcomes of the choices they are navigating. and within this journey of motherhood, we too are blessed with that possibility to grow, heal, nurture, and expand our own selves...to look back at what held us back, what engendered fear, what gremlin kept us down. and this is the gift our little ones give to us, the opportunity to navigate and chart a whole new perspective for ourselves...if we are willing to face it. you have a brave little warrior guiding your way, lis. she will keep you safe. xx Suzsuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042551853557329917noreply@blogger.com
