The Preschool Paper Work
It was a big day today. Our twins started preschool.
I remember when Madison, now 14, started at JAMS, the toddler preschool in Waban, Mass where we’ve sent all 5 of our kiddos. It really seems like yesterday. I’ve heard it said that the days are long but the years are short…but my days fly by too, so wow, yeah, enjoy it Supermoms. All of it. Even the seemingly mundane moments. Like the sixty minutes Philippe and I spent filling out paperwork at JAMS this morning. I’m actually not exaggerating. It was an hour, and we were writing the whole time.
As I was filling out the same questions over and over again on page after page I was mindful to be aware of my breath and on every inhale I inhaled golden white light. On every exhale I exhaled stuck energy. I let my thoughts wander to Madison and Sagey and Phoenix’s first days at jams. To my labor with the twins. To the present moment, their first day of school.
Last night at bedtime as we surrounded the twins with golden white light in their crib and called in the reiki, Madison asked, “Mom, are you sad that after tomorrow the twins will go to school forever?” (LOL)
“Nope,” I responded. “I’m grateful and joyful that they are healthy and happy and strong and developing beautifully.”
Notice where you are resisting today and shift your mind to something positive. It’s a discipline, a practice. It’s there if ya look for it. Make it your dominant intention that all day today you will look for things that make you feel good.
Even if it’s the fact that Philippe spent an hour doing preschool paper work. Perhaps the first man in history to do so.

Hi Taylor,
I thought you home-schooled all of your children except the oldest? You mentioned it frequently in your blogs. What happened?
