Oh, Fireflies!

I was sitting on the patio with my children surrounding me. They were spotting fireflies in the early summer evening. The feeling was content, and he light breeze in the air was like a sigh at the end of an energy-filled day. The children’s excitement was palpable, for every time a firefly lit up, they [...]

by:  Dyan Eybergen Walking through the park one evening with my eleven-year-old son and our dog Piper, I had my chin buried into the warmth of the neck of my jacket cursing the unlike-spring weather, wishing I had worn a hat when my son called out to me from several paces behind.  “Mom, come take [...]

Reframing

The Art of Reframing It’s not just for artists and professional framers. Reframing is a psychological tool that can simply transform your life. I know, it sounds pretty cliché, however- it’s the truth. The other day I was parked in our 5-speed Nissan Sentra facing the playing field outside of my children’s school when I [...]

It need not be this way- just read the next few sentences for a 180 degree mindset shift! The gift of the present tense is that “now” is never as bad as the future we anxiously awaited.  The apprehension [...]

How tonight’s dinner can change your life:

Here is a question:  Do You Eat With Your Children? Many people would say yes, and they are telling the truth: A pop-tart on the way to school, a Lunchable between piano and ball practice, a bowl of popcorn in front of a sitcom. However, if the question were just slightly different:  “Do you eat [...]

Educational Wisdom Movie

Educators play an integral role in the development of children. They motivate, educate, inspire and pass on their wisdom and knowledge. While you may think of educators as only being traditional teachers, that’s far from the truth. Everyone is a teacher; parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, coaches, scout leaders, counselors, clergy, law enforcement and more. [...]

Progress, Not Perfection

Recently I noticed a bumper sticker in a parking lot which read, “Progress, not Perfection.” Hundreds of examples of how to apply that motto to childrearing rushed through my head as I made my way past that shiny sedan. Although most of those ideas flew right out of my brain by the time I got [...]

Independence

Celebrating Independence Day this weekend on July 4th, I gazed at the brilliant display of fireworks and pondered what freedom means to us today. Freedom is all about having the ability to make choices. Yet, I wondered, how much freedom is truly mine, and how much have I relinquished in order to fit into a [...]
