I Love You Phoebe

Life is either fear or love, there is nothing else.

Life is either fear or love, there is nothing else. Ultimately prevention is better than cure. If I could create one thing for my kids it would be the undeniable knowledge that they are enough. I now choose to stop trying to make my kids mini versions of what I want, or think I want. I now choose to just let them go and tell them they are loved and safe to make mistakes and discover the world and that they will be just fine.

I then need to tell myself the same...and genuinely hear it.

Small towns and rich living

There are lots of ways to bring richness to rural living and it starts with knowing yourself, really intimately, warts and all, taking the time to get to know yourself. Once you know yourself you then have a self-awareness about which activities bring you joy and which ones bring you pain. Armed with this knowledge you can make conscious choices about what you get involved in and what you avoid at all costs.
