Love can be so uncomfortable and terrifying, but that feeling of working through the discomfort and emerging on the other end full of love and joy is absolutely worth every fucking risk

Being sober is awesome (as compared to experience of substance abuser). First off, there are canned mock-tails at the health food store down the road, I had a booze free mojito with my dumplings the other day and it tasted pure and shimmery as a bead of water. Also, even better, I’ve become a joyful reader again :~)

And I’ve taken up swimming lessons Last week at the end of class we all jumped into the deep end, perfect strangers becoming funny babies in that minute all together  Then I went home through the winter dark to read

bell hooks’ all about love has certainly risen in popularity the past few years, but if you read it and would like to take an even deeper dive into her philosophy of love and connection… these two will be great additions to your library

How do you have patience when it comes to kids?

Empathy and understanding. I remember what it’s like when I was a child, I remind myself what it feels like to not have any control over my own life while being expected to follow rules that no one has taken the time to explain. I imagine how frustrating it must be to have limited methods of self expression and emotional release. I imagine how disappointing it is to feel as though no one pays attention to you unless you are being ‘bad.’

I don’t take anything personally. I level with them. I empower them. I listen, I trust them, I love them. I remain aware of the fact that even when I do all of this, they will still do things that I may not like or that may be frustrating to me. They’re still deserving of patience and love. None of these things should be in direct exchange for “good” behavior. It is all part of encouraging healthy growth and development.

One thing I’ve stopped recently is saving items for hypothetical special occasions. I no longer want to assert the thinking that special moments and items are so few and far between that they must be savored. Wearing the dress, spraying the perfume, drinking the wine whenever I want to.
