 I was devastated to hear it and felt like in some way I could have should have stopped it because she was so nice to me. Why is it we don’t want to accept kind words directed to us? Thank you for posting it made remember that one time someone told me. And it makes me want to send my inner critic away more. This story is very touching and motivates me to want to say something kind to everyone I come in contact with today.

When you see your loved one deal with let down in a healthy way, recognize and affirm it. I really admire the way you helped your classmate with his reading struggles this year. Not many people would take the time to do that, but you did. Traits like kindness, generosity, and selflessness are typically not on report cards but can contribute to a fulfilling and contented life. If your loved one exhibits such qualities, say something.

To give my husband love and attention when he reaches out to me tonight. This morning my Monday took an unexpected turn that included a crying child with a bad allergy flare up, a trip to the doctor, a trip to the pharmacy, and a trip to school for makeup work.  To me, most important is to be like a child and be happy with my daughter. This one thing I am pursuing so long, but the stress of being a mother stops me frequently. Buy it here:  Anti-social Mama shirt Home:  https://t-shirtat.com/

There is always space for this, and there is always the ability to let go of the old. Just need to check the use by date! This was certainly true for my dentist today. She gave me the greatest gift of all when she listened, supported and encouraged me through a hard time. She also hugged me as well. She’s a rare gem in the medical field. One of those people who cares about the whole patient as a person. I know there are others like her out there. I definitely give thanks for them!

Even at 69, I am still learning what is important! Thank you for this beautiful reminder. I struggle with taking in the now on a good day, but this year has been riddled with family illness, loss of a dear friend, unemployment in addition to the everyday stress of life. Every year, I spend the first-day having students write me a letter about what I need to know about them, who they are, what they bring to this experience.

The kids were so engaged. I love that because if we lived from a place of love, acceptance and took time to see the blessings we are or can be in each other’s lives then there is flow! You helped me remember my purpose and goal with them, with all to meet those we love, with love. Still learning to effectively communicate with my grown children and their teenaged children.

Also, perfect message extending beyond animal shelters. Everyone needs a champion, an advocate. I just know it. We will keep loving him until that person finds his or her way to him. So I asked my bestie if she’d consider me putting out a call for an ‘act of love’ to a large group of my FB friends in a closed group private message, in the hope that someone would answer the call she was excited by my offer but didn’t hold out a lot of hope. We can gather so much hope from each other. Buy it here:  St Patrick’s Day drink up bitches shirt Home:  https://t-shirtat.com/

I love this story! You are awesome! Thanks for always being real, and speaking from the heart. I will definitely apply this to my girl and her reading level and sports and bike riding.

This approach did nothing to improve the situation. This response brings down the defenses, validates her feelings, and put us on the same team working toward a common goal. I wish I could take back the years I harped on my child about her messy room and messy ways until I blew up. It’s always nice to see a familiar face in the comment threads!

My daughter smiles with her whole heart- it lights up a room. She loves to make her brother laugh with this smile. Nothing more beautiful than the sound of my children giggling together! I need to slow down and just be. It seems like the easiest, yet hardest thing to do. We’re so overextended, overbooked, over-stressed all of our own doing.

Give more of myself, be kinder, be present, stop using harsh words, love on my children and husband more. It’s such a slow journey for me. Thank you for writing about the hope and for giving me hope. I still remember the exact moment when I had this same realization with my son and daughter. Thank you for sharing this and I hope many other mothers and fathers have that awakening within them. It is surely a life changer for all involved. This struck a cord with me. Buy it here:  Elephant I’m happy go lucky ray of fucking sunshine shirt Home:  https://t-shirtat.com/

My almost two year old loves when I read to her and tries to spend as much time in bed having cuddles in the morning as she can. She has the cheesiest grin her eyes light up when I mention taking her shopping already! They are both so precious and I desperately wish I had more time and energy with them. I know life will settle and I have to hope that they know how much I love them until then. Your wisdom also applies to my situation. I took early retirement to move next to my elderly mother. She cannot drive, is sometimes confused, and is easily stressed. Buy it here:  I’d love to do whatever I want but I’m not a dad #mom life shirt Home:  https://t-shirtat.com/

I mentioned it to a friend a few days ago when she thanked me for a vulnerable piece I’d written. I told her that instead of getting more immune to the critics as time passes, I am getting more sensitive and that makes it harder.

The driver was someone I did not know well, and I soon discovered he liked to take risks. As we navigated the steep and curvy two-mile entrance to my college, the driver turned off the headlights and pressed on the gas. He haphazardly hugged the road’s narrow shoulder as he took each dangerous curve.  Although I’d desperately wanted to say, Okay, man, that’s enough, I could not speak. I was paralyzed in the backseat, gripping the door handle so tightly it felt like my fingernails were bleeding. Buy it here:  Official Stevie Nicks shirt Home:  https://t-shirtat.com/

I’d point out the wisdom, experience, and tools you are gaining through this trial and speculate the magnificent way in which they will be used one day to make your world, our world, better.

Bless you, precious Rachel for lifting not only your friend up, but so many, many others. I needed reminding of all of this after the past 4m in my life. We were living in a not so great part of the city, and my dad was not home that night. So, I lit a candle, put it on a plate on the floor, and finally fell asleep. I jumped out of bed, ran downstairs, got the water hose, and put the fire out.

Yes, I can be an a-hole, but it has been only to help you become the greatest mother/person I have had the honor to know. This was so beautifully expressed and really touched me. I love watching my children grow, but it is also sad for me because I love my babies so much. This outlook is so helpful! Beautifully written. Every word resonated.

A cat’s meow stirred me from my reverie, and I quickly came back to the present moment. Standing outside the door was a young man who loved cats, and I had the keys. As my child and I laid there in silence, my hand in hers, I distinctly remember watching other kids win the awards and accolades I thought I had a chance to earn. One middle school year was especially soul-crushing. But how I felt about not getting that award may not necessarily be how my child feels.

My friends, I’m sure you have noticed, as I have, that many people are hurting these days; we are hurting individually and collectively. And I think this might be a good place to begin healing to assume the best, rather than the worst, about each other and who we are.

Over the past four years, this teacher came to know this child and encourage her unique and vibrant light to shine. After the fifth-grade graduation the other night, this teacher said to my daughter, Don’t you ever leave my life! Can you imagine? It means for a handful of minutes, I push away my distractions, my to-do’s, my worries and regrets to offer my undivided presence to my child. Sometimes they would ask me to come in and lie down next to them. Buy it here:  If you’re an uptight non cussing fancy schmancy nurse shirt Home:  https://t-shirtat.com/

Because of your thoughtful posts, I was able to compliment not just his effort but his grace in handling defeat and no matter the outcome he is always enough. I could see the weight of his worries lift off of his 9-year-old shoulders before my eyes. Oh my goodness, this brings tears to my eyes.

You make me smile, he writes today. I see a return on his investment. There’s a man keeping a bedside vigil in a quiet hospital room. He wants his beloved to see a familiar face when she wakes. I won’t leave you, he pledges. Because investments of your time, presence, courage, and heart are of the priceless kind.

Let your tears not be held back. My friends, I would love to see your catalog of beauty today as a tangible reminder that in the midst of struggle, despair, and negativity, there is so much better to see, feel, and spread.

They are shared with the emotional maturity of the child in mind. While one of my daughters has an insatiable thirst for information and yearns for the difficult details, the other one has nightmares from sensitive subjects, so I keep this in mind when I decide how and what to share with each of them. When I am directly in the midst of a struggle, having a hard time managing my emotions, and feel like I might lose control, I will tell my children this: I’m having trouble talking right now, and I can’t talk right now because I feel very frustrated.

One of my triggers is getting lost. I quickly start to unravel and my heart begins to race. My older daughter senses this and says, It’s ok, Mom. We can ask for help or Let’s pull over. We will figure this out together. I see this opportunity as a gift, not as a burden, to see that her mother is human and how she might self-sooth in the future when finds herself unraveling. This way of sharing my struggles is very different than the way it used to be when I’d be so emotionally distraught and stressed at that moment that I would scare my children.

I love careers that nurture my soul but don’t really pay the bills. I just love Avery! As a fellow musician, I have been part of the healing grace that music provides. Two weeks ago, I walked into a drug store to get a few items. I’d just left my sick cat at the vet, and there was a good chance I might lose him. In my despair, I was searching for a glimmer of hope. I noticed the extreme patience offered by the cashier to the elderly woman in front of me.

This message is so needed this time of year with all the school awards banquets and recognition given out.

A still, small voice summoned me to the couch where my then four-year-old daughter Avery sat watching The Lion King. In a moment of clarity, I’d pushed aside the distractions, the demands, and the world’s expectations to sit beside her in stillness. That’s when she picked up my hand and kissed my palm. My heart stopped beating and the world stood still. The feeling was indescribable. Life’s little victory. It never makes the headlines, but it’s far more important than the race.

I was recently at a residential treatment center for depression and they used the term stay in your lane to encourage us to focus on our own recovery, and not compare to others. But ultimately, I knew this was not my life nor was it my timetable – it was hers. At 4:45, I arrived for pick up. I watched as much older and taller kids from her new team exited. For a moment, I envisioned the worst: kids plowing over my daughter, causing her to lose her breath and her confidence. But here she came, the last one out, walking at her typical leisurely pace.

She ran past two cart holders in the parking lot to a third one. I thought she hadn’t seen them in the dark, but she said she wanted it to be easier for the person bringing the carts back in.
