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.

Enough about the Time Magazine cover photo, what about the actual article?

by 10 Comments

Now that the actual Time Magazine article is out on newsstands, I wanted to share my perspective on the article, and not only about the cover. And I would love to hear yours.
