Oh I love this SOOO much!!! Especially the one about owning your mistakes. How different would the world be if more people were able to acknowledge they did something wrong and were then allowed to fix their mistake....

FB reminded me of this post from 2020 (which is FIVE years ago 😵‍💫)
Still true though - CONNECTION is fundamental for human beings to thrive, especially for the littlest among us.

It isn't easy to raise emotionally intelligent children. So, here are three simple ideas from Dr. Laura Markham to make it simpler.

Via our colleagues over at Yoga Spirit Studios comes this poem, which fits the parenting journey so well... We have all sorts of ideas for what life will be like with our little ones, and more often than not it turns out differently. I for one had visions of doing yoga with my child - that is, have him with me in class, essentially co-teaching. We tried it and it didn't work. Turns out he prefers to kick a ball 😆 And that's okay! It took a moment to adjust, but what it's given me is something that is "mine". Everything is as it should be.

What things have you had to let go off?

Our lovely Anne, shared this poem in her class and students loved it so sharing here with you all, Thanks
for your poems.

LET IT GO – BY DANNA FAULDS
“Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold, the holding of plans or dreams or expectations – Let it all go.
Save your strength to swim with the tide.

The choice to fight what is here before you now will only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts to flee from the very energy you long for.
Let go. Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes through your days whether you received it gently or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders.

Take this on faith; the mind may never find the explanations that it seeks, but you will move forward nonetheless.
Let go, and the wave’s crest will carry you to unknown shores, beyond your wildest dreams or destinations.
Let it all go and find the place of rest and peace, and certain transformation.”

My friend Adam Cook, who I had the pleasure to work with several times back in what I like to call my "first life" in the theatre, posted this recently on his private page. I think it just so beautifully expresses the concept of Aparigraha (Non-Attachment), one of the 5 Yamas in the Yoga Sutras. He has given me permission to share his pearls of wisdom here, and I hope it chimes with you as well:

"I’ve learned not to hold people hostage to who they used to be. We all carry versions of ourselves that no longer fit—the mistakes we made, the things we didn’t know, the pain we caused when we didn’t yet understand our own.

I’ve seen how easily someone can be reduced to their worst moment, how quickly a past version becomes the only version others choose to remember. But the truth is, people outgrow their old skin. They stumble, they learn, and if life allows, they try to do better. We all have chapters we wish we could rewrite. That doesn’t mean we haven’t earned the right to start a new one.

I’ve watched friends become softer, more patient. I’ve seen people who once lived in chaos become anchors for others. Growth isn’t always loud or dramatic - (maybe that kind of change only happens in books and movies); it’s often quiet, steady, unglamorous. But it’s real. And when we dismiss someone for who they were, we miss out on who they’ve worked so hard to become.

No one should be permanently defined by a version of themselves they’ve already outgrown. We’re all in motion, figuring things out, trying again. And if we can give that grace to ourselves, we should be willing to offer it to others too."
