A suburban mother’s role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.”

“I wasn’t kidding how nuts I am w/ driving…I now have to make MY MOM take a cab from airport b/c of kids schedules.. I have NEVER had to make her take cab….hard w/ out usual help from sitter….”

To which I responded:

“Oh Girl I totalllly get it bc  I am living the dream too ha. I spend a lot of time as a taxi service to my five kids –nd no one gives a shout out to moms for doing this, do they? I’m going to write a blog about it and give you a shout out.”

So here I am with a big SHOUT OUT to all those Supermoms and Superdads out there who feel at times like a taxi service. You’re not alone, and what you do matters.

And remember to practice Deliberate Creation while you’re shuttling. Ignore what you don’t like/want (traffic, red lights, and teenagers coppin’ a ‘tude) and focus on what you DO like/want (priceless conversations with your kids, gratitude that you HAVE a car and therefore the freedom to get around, and the fact that your child is a developmentally appropriate teen and doing his or her job as such–talk to someone whose child has had a concussion or fallen out of a second story window or lost oxygen at birth to tune into this gratitude).

Have the best day ever!

Namaste!

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

“Yoga has helped my outlook, how I interact with people. It’s made me more conscious. It’s helped me be able to focus, make better decisions, think on my feet. I don’t know what I’d do without it. It’s my sanctuary.”

She’s been doing research and guess what?  Just doing this small thing, which takes all of about a minute, makes a difference. There’s been a demonstrable difference in her students’ focus, attitude, and sense of well being and calm.

One minute!

Do you have one minute today to invest in your children?  In yourself?

Have the best day ever!

Namaste!
