On Balance
Parenting is the hardest job in the world. As the mother of grown sons, I fully appreciate those competing voices in my head. The one that tells me to rescue my child and sacrifice myself for them and the one that tells me to help them build resilience and competence by taking on challenges. This process goes on across their lifespan and mine, even as I am in my sixties and they are grown men. We are always learning. Seeking balance so that we might be safe and secure, open to the joys of life, and able with withstand the sudden shifts and struggles.
