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.

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 [...]
Signed up for my second parenting course run by the Adler Centre here in Vancouver. First time with the ‘Adlerians’. Sounds like an alien species.
