Jenny: Tina has a quote on her bathroom mirror. It says…
Life isn’t about waiting for the rain to stop. Life is about learning to dance in the rain.
Will: I guess ski days with dad are like dancing in the rain.

Maybe the jury is in after all! This one comment sums up the whole year and a half that you’ve shared your blog with us. Hopefully lots more wise words to come!
Hugs!
Reese,
There’s no mistaking the timing of this exchange between Will and Jen.
All the lessons, the talks, the writing in journals, the tears and the work…
I can’t tell you how amazing it is to witness the process. Mark says or does something, and without my having to do anything, it is as if I see them start to unpack their own tool boxes, consult with each other, talk about what they think and feel, and then proceed to handle the situation with little or no involvement from me.
I would never have guessed we’d have gotten to this level of independence and confidence so quickly.
I’m so proud of them.
Wow! Small people with huge minds. You’re right to be proud x
Thanks, Tina!
I adore this saying!
Of course your kids are awesome. Look who their mother is!
You should be proud. You are doing what so few parents can do: giving your kids emotional strength.
Donna,
Thank you. I’ve missed you. :)
Everyone should have an ardent supporter like you.
Aww… thanks for the warm fuzzy!
I’ve been involved in a seminar with Debbie Ford and her book “The 21 Day Consciousness Cleanse”, so I haven’t done much online.
But I always check on you!
Donna,
That sounds like a good course.
