I got the school jitters big time! Just a little coaching needed for how not to get too involved in school politics but stay closely connected to Lula.

I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for…. I’m sorry that I…. Apologizing is powerful. Apologizing instantly raises the energy of the interaction, so long as it’s sincere and not meant to manipulate. ’I’m sorry’ is something I pretty much use every day all throughout the day. There is always an instance where I was insensitive, there is [...] Here is a tip I’m learning about how to be a better parent. Take care of yourself by taking time for yourself. This means give yourself a good chunk of Time and your Present Awareness, your own Attention. Time to be alone and away from your children.

Sure, sure, I do stuff for myself so I don’t go nutso living in only one [...] SO TIred. is how i feel. And how I’ve felt much of this year. I know I’m a broken record to people who ask, but it is what it is right now. Max is now one year old and still wakes up at 4:30 in the morning expecting me to come and help him [...] Last week Lula wanted to discuss the word RICH.
