One of my kids is an artist. While in law school, a sculpture of Moses was painted, employing the rainbow's wide range of colors. On the tablets where the Ten Commandments are most commonly seen, we see a mantra inscribed that I subscribe to: Life Should Be Fun.
My kids, all of whom are adults, are a lot like me in that they work hard, play hard, and enjoy their lives—fully. :) While raising them, I'd offered each one this advice: Here are the two most important decisions you'll ever make: the person you marry and the profession you choose. Your profession will dictate where you'll go to expand your brain, every day. The person you marry will be waiting to welcome your heart home, every night. Choose both wisely and no matter what else happens in life, you'll be able to figure it out by communicating honestly with—yourself.
I have no doubt that the two who are single have not married, because they've not yet found their soul mates ... but they will. As for me, I love what I do. I love coming home. I figure things out. I have good reason for loving my life. Maybe that's why I'm known for lighting up from deep within, often and easily. I'm not a teacher who 'can't do'. how do I know that's true? I'm a teacher who follows her own advice before taking her show on the road. When asked what I do, sometimes I reply ... I teach family communications. Other times, my imagination combines with mischief, and I hear myself say: I teach people how to love each other —well. After all, there are many ways to love: Defensively. Judgementally. Insecurely. As for me? I choose to offer love by dipping into my heart, where a deep, free flowing, self respecting—well—offers generosity of spirit to all who thirst or hunger to feel understood. :)
