Thoughts on Swimming in Water

On the heels of my blog post about homeschooling our children, I have been sent an inspiring message on what is the MOST important thing we can teach our children.

To teach them to be conscious in the moment and to make choices on how they want to think about ANYTHING.

If we can do that, well, we have done a BRILLIANT (a word recently picked up by my U.K. residing daughter) job.

As we head into week two of the teacher's strike, I'm going to relax and maybe hang out more in the pool, enjoying the last of the summer's sunshine.

Being Brave and jumping in the deep end even if you don't know how to swim

                                               Victoria and Grace, 1, 2, 3, jump!

Exploring the tools that can help you in life

Wanting to see everything as you travel your path

Knowing you are surrounded by lots of people who love you

I hope you find the following  YouTube video, "This is Water" as inspiring as I have.....and  thanks Alyssa (our oldest) for the link. You are a beautiful swimmer. 

(If you are not able to view the video below, I hope the following link will take you to the wonderful YouTube, video message, called, "This is Water.")

Have a nice day!


Until I see you again, may you be well, happy and peaceful.
