When our kids were little, we loved them and they could do nothing for us. Their only job was to be themselves. As they grew, we watched their unique personality unfold and watched them evolve into who they are now. Here is my question: What do you like about them now? I would love to hear what stands out to you now.

I am sitting on my couch, listening to John Tesh on the piano, in front of a fire. I live alone so I have the luxury of being able to be still more frequently than most. The question for me and for all of us is this: Do we prioritize stillness in our lives? My experience in working with people my entire life is that stillness is scary for most of us. When our children lived at home, it was hard to find time to not be constantly busy so many of us got out of the habit of taking time to simply "be". Have you forgotten how to "be" yourself? Be present in the moment? Be grateful? Let me encourage to you make "being" a priority. It will deepen your reserves, help you "pause" more effectively, and find a greater sense of who you are. You can do this!

Here is the recording of our time together. It will be up for 14 days. Enjoy!

I want to ask you a question: What is the most important to you regarding your relationship with your adult children? I would love to know so please share it here in the community. Thanks!
