Eight Magical Years!


Eight years ago this amazing baby boy housing an extremely peaceful and wise Spirit landed right into my arms...Joshua's boundless and unbreakable connection to Source fills me with so much hope for the future.  He also fills those who are close to him with a vague sense that something is very different about him. I try not to get caught up in how others experience my children; all children are coming in enlightened! They are all, as are we miracles! We all need to lighten up and enjoy the unfoldment of their gifts more and allow them the freedom to express those gifts. In doing so we align with receiving our own Truth of what it means to be human. When we listen to and nurture our children's Souls we begin to understand our own Sacred Truth of what it means to be Spiritual Beings having human experiences...
Kahlil Gibran in his book The Prophet breathed life into the beautiful concept of "conscious parenting" over eighty years ago...

Your Children are not your children. 
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. 
They come through you but not from you,
and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. 
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts. 
You may house their bodies, but not their souls. 
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. 
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. 
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. 
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; 
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

So today I celebrate this amazing kid's life!!! I'm honoured that he decided to show up in this world and simply say, walk with me through this experience...I'm here to remind you that it really is a Limitless Infinite Fantastical Experience! I wish and hope and pray that in his moments of forgetting that I can be strong for him in my Spirit to gently remind him of his everlasting and unbreakable connection to Source!
