Being a conscious parent is not about arriving at a destination…after which you have earned the title “conscious parent.” It’s not a designation to put on your resume, or a symbol of having achieved a certain level of mastery of its principles. It’s about the commitment to the journey – and it can start on day one. You can choose TODAY to be a conscious parent. It means you are committed to the never-ending journey that emphasizes growth, truth, authenticity, and presence. We can all practice these skills and achieve various levels of mastery, however the genuine intention towards the journey is the most important piece that matters. Conscious Parenting is not a checklist of external attributes….it’s about the process.

Healthy treats for school birthday celebration

by

In honor of my daughter’s birthday, I wanted to bring something to the class for all the children to share.  Dreaded the idea of bringing cupcakes, or cookies – less because of the fact they aren’t the healthiest thing, but more because these children celebrate birthday parties every week and collectively, are probably eating…oh…..I’d say […]
