through and through

Discovering the personality of your child is beautiful an unique gift. 

Each day is filled with irreplaceable wonder and joy.

Right before your eyes their character emerges.

There are few things more powerful than:

 discovering the sound of your child's laughter;

the twinkle in their eye when they smile;

 

their scent becomes the breath of life from which you breathe deeply.

And the love, it's undeniable 

  

you are forever connected;

 

And with each passing day your life becomes

 

fuller and richer as you continue the journey that began

because two people met

and fell in love.

The experience of discovering your child is a unique gift that changes you

    through and through.

Until next time,

ten ways to good health...

First, second, third...finally

Think, 

Believe,

Dream,

Dare.

Welcome Fall

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart

and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms

or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers,

which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is to live everything.

Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future,

you will gradually, without even noticing it,

live your way into the answer.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

To have and to hold

I can be a bit flighty.  Alright, i admit it.  At my worst i can be all ideas and no action but at my best well i can swirl, flow, create and inspire ideas that sometimes lead to something...

Keep me.  Protect me.  Share me and I'll live forever...

I had the pleasure of attending a conference yesterday where the speaker had those and other words to say.  And, while he was talking about photographs and their importance to our life, society, and existence.  I'd received the final piece to this blog...

Keep me. Protect me. Share me and I'll live forever...

Keep me:

 

She had the most beautiful brown eyes;

 

 so clear and intelligent;

He was all personality and, um... opinions;)

Super cute and very charming ;

Protect me:

it's hard to believe our hands

were ever sooo small;

 

their need for our guidance

  as strong and sure

 as their grasp;

 Big sister takes her role very seriously;

little brother doesn't mind;

they actually lean on each other.

Share me:

 the bond of brother/sisterhood

 

is the sweetest gift a child can give to a parent

to have and to hold.

 

and the love that created them will live forever...

Until next time...

Happy Grandparent's Day

Nobody can do for

little children 

what grandparents do.  

Grandparents sort of sprinkle

 

stardust over the lives 

of little children. 

Happy Grandparent's Day!

Nurture nature...

For about a decade now, I've had the great fortune of visiting this wonderful haven on earth.  It's an absolute wonder with some of the wisest trees I've ever had the pleasure of walking amongst.  I always leave with more hope, wishes and  dreams than when i arrived.  When I ran into this quote, comprehension dawned...

Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.

the Greek god of dreams

"The Matrix is a system... That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save.

But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
