Our local Snowman

If I Had My Child to Raise Again


If I had my child to raise all over again...I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I’d finger paint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I’d take more hikes and fly more kites...

I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play...

I’d ignore the stares and stare at more stars...

I’d do more hugging and less tugging...

I’d see the oak in the acorn more often...

I would be firm less often, and affirm much more...

I’d abandon my love of power, …in favor of the power of love...


I stole this from our friends, Dr. Arthur and Dr. Becky's, Chiropractic Newletter--
Thank you guys!

I love the Brazilian snowman. A friend is doing her PhD research in Sao Paulo and she has posted similar pictures.
