"it is the foundation you lay down that matters", you're so right! In French we say that we should give children "des racines et des ailes", roots and wings - Roots to be nurtured, to get strong, and stand stable through life, and wings to spread and fly around when the time is come, to get all the stronger, to find the own way through life - and to come back as often as needed. As a mother it's the gift I most want to make to my daughter. In the daily life though, it is not always easy to find the right balance between (over-)protecting and supporting her need for autonomy.... Step by step, she and I will find our own way. Have a wonderful day with Happy! Thank you so much, Rosie, you could just have written about how “I” feel…

This isn’t a new discovery: in fact, CFSC has done several studies over the past few years that have proven repeatedly that lead in lipstick is an ongoing issue, and one the FDA knows about. (I’ve written about it a few times, like here and here.)

Yes, yes, yes. You are loved is one of my favorite announcements and I love how you capture it. In fact, my best friend when I was teaching high school and I used to always say to each other, "You are loved" because we loved that it was such an active expression of our affection for each other. That was 15 years ago and she recently started You are Loved Designs based on this premise of helping people understand that they are loved (she's still teaching, too). http://www.youarelovedesigns.com These announcements are making me so, so happy!

But for some months, I realized (thanks to Beautiful You) that I deprived myself of the pleasure of using my "little treasures". Let me explain: I love to collect beautiful little somethings such as little pieces of fabric, or ribbons - things that anybody else would probably throw away. One day, I would use them to create a great artwork, yes a masterpiece. Too bad that I have no knowledge and experience so far. But one day, for sure... And in the meanwhile, I can't allow myself to work with them. I would ruin them, for sure, as I don't have experience.... A vicious circle, based on my perfectionism. How can I ever learn if I don't allow myself to "ruin" some material? Does it really matter if my first "masterpieces" aren't perfectly perfect? What are handicrafts for, if not for enjoying the process? As so often, becoming aware of my struggles was all I needed to solve them. From time to time, when I try something new, I still find myself "braking" again - and I take a deep breath and jump in. I deserve to feel this joyce of creating!

There is absolutely no need for our announcements to be colossal, to be this thing that's never been heard. THere is simply a need for us to speak our truth and to help our truth be lived real in the world, whatever it is, however "ordinary" it might feel. Because there is nothing, after all, ordinary about living. When you think about life- how you got here literally and figuratively- it is extraordinary and demands your celebration in it- by living real. SO energized for this day because of you, Mary and Cecile, thank you! Love these comments, Mary, and the story about St. Therese.
