Thank Beth Tyson for her insights.
Children can unintentionally trigger our unhealed childhood wounds (demons).

This dynamic often manifests as anger, anxiety, avoidance, and shutting down in reaction to children’s behavior when it reminds us of something that hurt us in the past.

We must be willing and able to confront our unmet childhood needs, and do the work towards healing if we want our children to thrive.

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve worked with who want to point their finger at the child without looking in the mirror at their own unaddressed pain and how it is showing up in their caregiving, teaching, parenting, and counseling.

Let’s face our demons together. We all have them, including me, and we don’t have to do it alone. I am forever working on this in my own life.

Whoever wrote this quote is a genius, in my opinion.

We only get one life. What legacy will your leave?

‘Healing’ or ‘healed’ is what we feel at the moment we finally open our hearts – to ourselves. The moment we forgive ourselves for whatever happened, let go of shame and accept ourselves fully – that is the moment of healing. When we are healed, we can feel a deep sense of compassion for that young child we once were, a warm and loving kindness toward ourselves.- Janina Fisher

I heard this the other day on the DD podcast and I wanted to pass it along. Happiness is not derived on the outside but within. Live in gratitude. One day at a time. May your day be filled with gratitude.

Healing is in the small, consistent choices we make every day. 🌱 Whether big or small, these choices shape our path forward. Just like climbing these stairs, you can’t reach the top without taking each step along the way. Progress isn’t about giant leaps—it’s about steady movement, one step at a time. Keep going!

If these days feel difficult, please remember you are not alone. Gently try to focus on the good, even if it feels hard to find. Taking small steps, one day at a time.

Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.

My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.

So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.

Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.
