I Love You Phoebe

Life is either fear or love, there is nothing else.

Life is either fear or love, there is nothing else. Ultimately prevention is better than cure. If I could create one thing for my kids it would be the undeniable knowledge that they are enough. I now choose to stop trying to make my kids mini versions of what I want, or think I want. I now choose to just let them go and tell them they are loved and safe to make mistakes and discover the world and that they will be just fine.

I then need to tell myself the same...and genuinely hear it.

I am enough

Thoughts on education.

It would appear that I wanted for nothing. But I can't help but wonder if it denied me the feeling that I am still seeking, that feeling that I am enough.

In which classroom do they teach the language of the soul?

My boys are heading to high school next year, a transition which I always thought would mean happily sending them off to boarding school to experience the absolute best of life. But somewhere along the way my sentiments have changed, and now, as I am facing the reality of the local high school vs boarding school I am finding myself increasingly torn.
