Just another evening of choosing the easy path. But this moment stopped me in my tracks. How many "just this once" choices had become my daily defaults?

01-17-2025 Hi (re)Parenting Tribe, I used to believe that if I just loved hard enough, gave enough, or tried enough, I could fix what was broken in my marriage.

01-17-2025 "The past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future." - Marilyn Ferguson Dear (re)Parenting Tribe, Have you ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, despite your best efforts to change them? Or why some emotional reactions feel automatic, as if they are running on autopilot?

01-17-2025 "Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality." - Earl Nightingale Dear (re)Parenting Tribe, Have you ever noticed how your inner dialogue shifts throughout the day?
