Feathers, butterflies, incense and smudge are wonderful Air associations and make a beautiful altar. Place this altar in your studio or office to focus and create; by your favorite reading nook to engage your mind; a meditation spot to calm and focus the monkey-mind; or by your phone for peaceful communication. Simple lighting the incense or smudge and breathing deeply offer this element the honor it deserves.

t is not by changing our behavior, though certainly it will change too. But it is to rewrite the new story to include the outcomes we want. It is to begin a narrative that prizes sovereignty, that is based in care, that shows us what is important in hard times, and articulates maps of togetherness. This is not easy, it will not always be beautiful, but it will always be worthwhile. Rewrite, Hard Times, Outcomes, News Stories, Archetypes, Prizes, Togetherness, Behavior, Maps

Parenting books often go after teaching parents strategies for changing a child's behavior to meet the expectations of the adults. But this is asking the child to use willpower and the desire to make adults comfortable to control their emotions. What if we considered meeting our distressed child as a helper and a guide, instead? What if we approached with curiosity and care? If we saw ourselves as a support system, how would we approach our children differently?

Our days are full of urgency that keeps us moving as quickly as we possibly can. What are we missing when we habituate to such a fast pace? We lose our connection to anything that moves slower… the trees, flowers, seasons, and our own internal world. We did not evolve with this pace… we are not made for it. What could be in our awareness if we slowed down to a natural pace? How fast or slow would that be? What would it feel like to your nervous system?

It’s more important that our children learn about living and relationships from us than it is that we follow some “perfect” parenting paradigm or parent our kids toward a predetermined outcome. There is no perfect parenting. We can only build a strong relationship with our children based on care and respect, let them see us modeling the kind of behavior we want for and from them.

If we want to change our family legacy of harm we must learn to inhabit a different perspective than the one that supports behaviors of harm. Changing our own behavior without changing the underlying narrative isn’t enough. If we don’t change the narrative that supported harm it is inevitable that the harm will still happen. That we will respond from those old perspectives and narratives when we are tired, overwhelmed, or stressed. Family Legacy, Different Perspectives, Inhabit, Tired, Understanding, Change, Shit Happens

Why are people irritated when babies cry? Why is the response to a tantrum so often anger? Why do we think teenagers are lazy or sassy? We feel locked in adversarial relationships with our kids. In these narratives the struggles are presupposed and appear inevitable. But are they? What if we told a story of our children coming to us whole. They have come to express themselves and to learn how to navigate the human world. How does this narrative set us up to relate to them differently?

Our family of origin created a belief system in us about what we deserve, what needs we’re “allowed” to have, and what behaviors to get them met are acceptable. This influence is still present when we grow up and want to change the patterns to include more caring, more kindness, and more support. Where do we interrupt this pattern so that we can be the parents (and citizens and friends and beloveds) that we want to be? Deserve, Caring, Parents, System, Patterns, Friends, Family
