Planting Seeds

On parenting from Julie:

To me it’s seeding. Seeding in a garden. I’m planting seeds. There are seeds going in now. And they may not blossom for another couple of years.  I remember walking with my daughter and just talking about a boy that she liked. She was on the phone and her father got mad. And you know… this is normal. She was telling me about him. and I said he sounds like a such a sweetheart. Good for you for bringing in someone who is so kind.

Keep trusting that. Trust yourself. Trust your inner knowing. And if you don’t feel that way and there is someone who is not for you, trust that too.

I try to say it in moments when there is some kind of listening.

Julie Reisler is all about “following your inner wisdom.” She has so much advice that is so on target for parenting. More about our guest this week from Julie’s website:

Here’s the truth.

It took polishing off two pounds of M&Ms in a 15-minute sitting, and getting sick for three whole days afterward, for me to realize that something major needed to be addressed in my life.

You see, I had been using food to cope with my emotions since I was a teenager. I gained and lost 40 pounds four different times.

Whenever I felt upset, afraid, worried, angry—you name it—I would eat to feel better and distract myself from what was really going on inside of me.

While I certainly had many shameful binge moments over the years, this one was crossing the line big time. And you know what? I’m grateful for it.
