15 years ago
when i was first processing
thru my childhood
i did work with this woman

she told me
long before i realized it myself
that my life's work is helping families
+
that my heart was strong

but there was a problem 
with my heart
it only knew

how to give love to others
my incoming valve was broken

it was hard for me to learn
how to give that big ol' love
i love to give to the world
back to myself

​
Picture
i'm not alone in this challenge
of learning how to love oneself
on the daily


it's one of the things i work most
​to empower moms
in our positive parenting community

​

​i learned + continue to practice
how to have a strong incoming valve
in my heart back to me
you can too

here's 2 of the main ways
you can teach yourself
to love yourself
+
build a strong incoming
valve to your own heart


so you receive some of
your loving goodness
in the midst of all you're doing
for everyone else all.day.long
Picture
long showers,
flowers,
books,
TED talks,
painting your toe nails,
shopping,
talks with a good friend,
getting out in nature
...whatever it is for you
whether it's 10 minutes of your day
or you take off for the afternoon
(or the whole weekend )

whatever you love to do 
get it scheduled in
on the calendar for this week


this is one of the #1 ways
to give some of your own
heart love back to you

the second most powerful way
to create that strong incoming valve
from your own heart
back to you is to...
Picture
all those little convos
you have with yourself
throughout the day
what you say to yourself
when you mess up
make a mistake

do you give yourself
grace + love
for being human

how can you encourage + empower
yourself with your self-talk


teaching yourself how
to talk to yourself
is key
- both when life is good
and especially when life is hard

this work of giving love
back to you
it's the foundation
for everything
in your life


you can create that strong
incoming valve
to your own heart
to give love back to you

this week....

and you'll be golden

wishing you all the love  
in your big ol' heart
coming right back at ya

    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!
