Nourishing Seedlings

Why would anyone choose to make their lives harder? This is the question that I was asked as I took my first step toward choosing something different for my children. I have thought deeply about the answer to this question in every decision that I have made in the last two years. Why would I ever choose a different path than everyone else that I know?

Are you feeling stuck in parenting? Do you feel like you have limited choices? Nothing you choose to do today can’t be undone. Try something new and see how it goes! Be willing to experiment. Adjust as you need. Take a deep breath. Life is a journey, not a destination.

If you are willing to look beyond the choices presented to you, welcome to the club! There is so much more to life than clocking in and clocking out. You don’t have to sit in the box for the rest of your life. You can start small, and try new things every day. Start with one little step. A little seed of an idea, with a little bit of nourishment can grow into something big and beautiful.
