Here’s today’s aha for ya’ll: So there’s this Buddhist term called Bodhicitta. Bodhi= Awake Citta= Mind or Heart And of course, we all aspire to be awake and open. Feels a hell of a lot better than fearfully shut down and closed in. … what what? waitasecond…REWIND! Mind OR heart? How can it be mind OR [...] Huge insight lately about children and love. Do you think children are born empty of love and our job as parents is to fill them up with love them to make them feel loved ? No! This makes no sense does it? We are so backwards sometimes! Our job as parents is to actually open ourselves [...] You know when you do things that you don’t understand why you do them? But you have to? Or when you begin to behave in an addictive manner…ie. smoking, eating, drinking, working, etc. to stop feeling something?

There is always an instance where I was insensitive, there is [...] Questions I’ve been playing with: what old limiting patterns of thought regarding the 4th dimension (ie.

Letting go of my thoughts. Not ’stuff’. Not ‘people’. But IDEAS that float through my head and which I often give power to because they are interesting in some way. Interesting in that they make me feel something… like fear, anger, judgement, disgust, happy, [...] Here is a tip I’m learning about how to be a better parent.
