your happy home

a couple summers back
i was at a weekend workshop
for women
i was sharing how my life
is all about finding
peace + acceptance 
within

a younger woman
looked at me sideways
with a bit of judgment
like
how sweet hippy lady
like
peace + acceptance were weak

later that day 
i shared more of my life story
the young woman got it
on a whole new level

that peace + acceptance
aren't fluffy new-agey dreams

but i was like that young woman too
for a long time
when i first started working with parents

i thought a happy home
how sweet + trivial
like
a happy home is surface
like
a happy home
isn't what it's all about
but now
i know for sure

in your happy home
your needs are met
you are a good parent
because
your feel like a good parent
you believe in yourself
and the goodness in your children
you believe in

​here's a step to build
your happy home
this very week
starting today
powerfully + simply notice
when your home feels most happy
when you feel most happy within....
what are you doing?
saying?
thinking?
feeling?
and your children too....
when do they seem most happy?
what are they doing?
what are you doing?
what's going on in your home
in that moment?
then give yourself
the gift
of doing that very thing
feeling that very way
thinking that very thought
every day

(it might seem
overly simply
yet
it's sssooo challenging 
to make happen)

you can do it
believe in you
believe in your happy home

You Got This.
