Wishing all you beautiful, amazing mamas a most glorious week-end!!!
Part of my "mama's day" gift was an afternoon sans kids yesterday. It was a gorgeous day here and, with journal in hand, I wandered down to the beach and soaked up the peace and sunshine.....Ahhhhh......
As I sat on a log watching the waves and listening to the gulls, what came up for me was how grateful I am for the incredible gift of motherhood. More than all the education in the world, they have opened my heart to realms of possibility.....
My kids are my greatest teachers. I often feel like I am living with 3 little zen masters 24/7. That said, they serve as constant inspiration to keep evolving and growing. They remind me to breathe, let go and have fun. (As I write this I am sitting in the middle of a "staw" house...the boys are paddling around the kitchen in laundry baskets....and, yah, it's all good!!! LOL :) They also remind me (on a minute by minute basis) to remain compassionate, flexible and patient...... Now that they are getting older, they also mirror back to me qualities that I really do want/need to work on.... Letting go of "perfectionism", being more organized, being in the moment....etc...etc.....:)
With all this in mind, I intend to be present with my kids (and get off the computer -- LOL :)) and just enjoy their beutiful spirits, the sunshine and garden this mama's day!!!
May you all have a blessed day!!!!
Namaste,
S:)
PS: Here's a great song for you....:)

They are the most wonderful of Teachers, these Precious Children.
How many times have I Taught them what I had to Learn? LOL :-D
All My Love to You and Your little Zen Masters on this Mother's Day!~~<3
Lovely as always, Shannon. I really appreciate the cool videos you find as well. I took the liberty of throwing this one up on my profile on FB.
Thanks

Isn't it wonderful to be living with little zen masters? My kids were some of my greatest teachers! Sounds like it's the same with you.
