Not the usual parenting stuff you are used to, but this is something that I believe. Giving back to the world is the only way to thank the world for having what you have. I am fortunate to have the life and opportunities that I am grateful for, to have a wonderful family and amazing kids, to be able to do the things I love. I am fortunate to be able to try to be a better parent to my children and keep mastering this thing we call peaceful/gentle/positive parenting.
And then you start thinking about others who are not as fortunate, and a lot of them are kids who just can’t provide for themselves, or defend themselves, and are struggling to survive…and you feel like you need to do something.
Let’s throw something back once in a while. Let’s send some positive energy into this world and help someone along the way. Pick your cause, a charity, a child or a family in need, a local fundraiser, anything at all that can improve someone’s life. Let’s all do something. And not just this holiday season, but as much as we can throughout our life. Let’s!
