The Best Simulation Of What Parenting Children Is Like
I was blessed to raise two little boys who are now in their twenties. I don’t do much mother-ing anymore, but the fact that I’m still a mother qualifies me to write to tell you about the greatest joy I know. I hope that by the end of the post, you come to appreciate the analogy I make, or at best, you come to understand the beauty of something I so ardently recommend. Enjoy.

Respect Questions, Work to Project from Inside You
Inspiration for you today. What if we stopped resisting what’s happening and put our belief in the fact that the universe is on our side? Remember that like attracts like; starts as an inside job.
