Happy (PDA) Birthday
Our children may find birthdays a wonderful and yet equally challenging time.
Many of the amazing parents I connect with find it an overwhelming, exhausting, and emotional time themselves.

Freshly Squeezed OJ
When you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out - because that’s what’s inside.

BEing the parent I AM
I’m not flaky, disorganised, or inconsistent although I can appear that way to some because of the extreme flexibility I’ve chosen to give my child from my generous heart...as I see you doing also.
I’m not over sensitive or fussy because I’m tuned into someone who depends on my emotional barometer to support them...as I see you doing also.

Love PDA ‘Converstaions That Count!’
I pray for the day when PDA can be seen.
When parents are not judged but supported and celebrated.
Where we can say PDA and not have to explain what it is.
Where humans can adapt to the needs of PDA people, that they just recognize, accept and know that we are all unique but we are also all from the same.
For peace.

Let it go Let it go
That’s you struggling, and trying to know all the answers, and feeling sad, and feeling not good enough, and feeling afraid of the future, and feeling angry at the teacher, and feeling unappreciated...
So YOU are holding that cork under the water.
That’s what your negative emotions are telling you.
That’s what resistance is.
Let it go, and float into peace...
