You know you were blessed to have as you put it all three (gee with only one cuppa coffee I can't remember the third one). So you give of yourself in this way. I know also that you are humble enough to say that you learn from your students. In teaching something you gain a deeper understanding of it for yourself too; being a teacher I'm always looking to learn new things so that when I teach first graders how to read I know what it feels like! I grew up without any support of my artistic side. My inner critic needed a bossy but gentle Lyric to encourage the artist and to help her tell her negative shadow to get in the closet and stay there! Just as you were saying there is a season for everything. Now the Mom role has center stage and you'll be glad for this time later in life as I am. I've forgotten all the things I couldn't do when I was Mom full time. When the empty nesters moan around you, I know where you'll be tootling a song and moving your hips as you pull another screen, dye another yard, stitch another art quilt and revel in your creations! To everything there is a season...Laura Leanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-71144517953911096242010-02-15T09:41:30.405-05:002010-02-15T09:41:30.405-05:00“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. O...“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”<br />I love this quote from Marianne Williamson....Jane LaFaziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074665972666629110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-45201724268202031202010-02-15T01:06:24.906-05:002010-02-15T01:06:24.906-05:00I like your lecture!

So much easier to tell others what to do than it is to take our own advice. ;) Thanks for the talk!Lisa Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678111345177959698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-89612332433059087102010-02-14T20:54:41.615-05:002010-02-14T20:54:41.615-05:00Melly - you must not be a teenager.
