Freedom Friday: Find Your "Jiggle" Again 🍓✨
In The Boy with the Blue Bike, Leo visits a mysterious neighborhood called Whisperwood. A little girl walks up and whispers a secret to him:
"You have to try the strawberry Danish—they don't display it. It's a secret!"
She tells him that the best stuff isn't always on display for everyone to see.
This is your permission slip for the weekend.
Do you remember that "jiggle" inside you when you were a kid? That electric rush of sneaking a second cookie from Grandma? Or the thrill of pointing your tires down that one "forbidden hill" and just letting go of the brakes?
In the book, Leo and Jasper chase that feeling in Echo Ridge. When the noise of the world gets too loud, they don't just sit there. They race downhill. Leo says:
"It's downhill. You know my bike is so fast, right? ... Three, two, one, let's go!"
As adults (and especially as solo parents), we often lose that jiggle. We trade the downhill races for uphill battles. We share our space, our energy, our money, and usually... half our fries.
But to stay sane, you need your own "Secret Strawberry Danish." You need to spark that jiggle again.
The Truth: We love our kids endlessly. But we need to love ourselves, too. It is simple emotional math: The happier we are, the happier they will be. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and you certainly can't teach them joy if you've forgotten how to feel it yourself.
👇 Tell me below (we won't tell the kids): What sparks that "jiggle" for you now? Is it a specific song? A secret treat? A solo drive? Let us know what you are doing this weekend to make yourself smile.
