compassion gifts on father's day

6/18/2018

on facebook 
my heart was breaking
for people
with no dad or bad dads
people who lost their dads

my heart was aching
for myself a bit too
growing up with
a mentally ill + abusive
dad

seeing everyone's
dad pictures
i can't help 
but wonder
how my life
would be different
today
if i had a normal dad

but 
i didn't
 

all we can do 
in life
is turn the hard stuff
into our greatest blessings
get our stolen gifts back
mourn our losses
+
choose our own happiness 
focusing on the positive


i'm not saying 
it's easy
a lifetime's work
but i know 
it's possible
we're doing it
everyday

one thing
my dad taught me
- all backwards -
was compassion


Picture

if i hadn't 
had a crazy dad
+
been thru craziness
as a kid
i'd never know
how deep suffering
- and the strength
it takes to transform it -
runs
 
if i do nothing else
in this world
of ours
+
in positive parenting
i want you to develop
a deep well of compassion
for you

your compassion
for you
is the foundation
for everything
you want in life


compassion
is your happiness
compassion
is your strength
and it's your birthright


this father's day
i'm sprinkling
compassion
like it's glitter
that's never going
out of style

wishing you a lifetime
of compassion for you
today 
and always

You Got This.

    Mama Megan

    Hi friends,  I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative."  This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family!
