School's Out!🚀

I always enjoyed the anticipation of summer. Getting ready for summer camps, buying the gear for beach and pool play and not having a detailed mapped out day… to play for 2 whole months. It was bliss.

And now that I am a mom, I am planning all the details so our girls have the same experience, and even better, in some cases, such as more camping, making fire, using knives, cooking together, firepits at night. It makes me remember all that my dad taught me through the years that I still use today.

Some of the best things we can give our children is love through quality time, the feeling of safety and education of tools; tools that help them navigate the world with more ease and clarity.

Teach them how to think.

Teach them how to work through problems, and how to avoid them.

Teach them how to self regulate when they get stressed or overwhelmed.

Teach them how to stay bright when life could get really tough.

Teach them to never give up.

Give them time with you and give them the joy of learning. That will set them up for life because then they will always be curious and they will grow beyond your imaginings.

Your children, nieces, nephews, neighbors kids look up to us to teach us how to be in the world and if we don’t teach it, even in the smallest of moments, then how will they learn it?

They need you. Know that you are enough to teach, to guide and love in all the right ways. You never know how much they need that lesson and how much they need your love.

Fondly,

Do you have your Summer Reading List Yet?

I love reading books. I wish I personally had more time to read more than I am but I’m always working on a few books at a time. I am currently working on a book about Flyfishing (by Joan Wulff). A few months ago, it was about wine scandals in California (Tangled Vines). Learning creates opportunity and I always like to create more opportunity for awesomeness to come into my life.

If you are wanting to learn and grow yourself Please give these a try: (or let me know how you enjoyed them!

I will be doing a book review/discussion in the next few weeks on Power vs. Force LIVE so if you want to prepare for that, I would love for you to connect in with that and share your thoughts.

Go Here to buy any of them on Amazon:

Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill

7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steve Covey

Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyasaki

The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo

Love’s Hidden Symmetry by Bert Hellinger

These are some of the most transformative books that shifted the way I saw the world and am in the world. I still look through these books on occasion to this day.

Enjoy!
