Many of you who follow my column at Examiner.com know that I found a new-favorite blog/vlog at EarofMyHeart.com. I highly recommend taking some time to read LaRonda Zupp's wealth of insight and resources. On my last visit to the site, I discovered a post about a beautiful book called The Great Silent Grandmother Gathering - and the power of women standing silently in a park "when the news is bad and many people feel powerless". You can read more about the book at the grandmotherbook.com.
These are definitely bad-news-times. So instead of giving in to fear and despair, it helps to be reminded of the power of silence. And the power of hope.
Parents may be nervous about finances...
- what if you can't give your children everything they want?
- what if you have to cut back on programs and activities?
- what if you're working harder for less?
Take a deep breath. Your children want lots of things but need very few. Mostly they need the security of love and attentive listening. They need the quiet strength of a family who stands together through challenges and joy.
