Quoting Trinjo:From my experience..Love is what people refer to as God, but the moment it is labelled, it loses it's vastness.
Thank you for sharing!
You mention love ~ is love an emotion of the ego as well? *Pondering to myself... *
Love Always,

Wow have I had a life changing breakthrough, it happened in chapter 4 as I was listening to Eckart discussing the Role of the mother and how we cause the feelings of anxiety when trying to effectively parent our children.This brought me to tears, it's my reaction to my daughter and not her actions that upset me. My state of anxiety permeates her behavior and my nervous energy will provoke her even more. Never looked at it this way. I need to be able to accept the moment as it is, be transparent and not pull her into my anxious ridden reaction. I also loved when he said "Our most sacred moments are our greatest challenges" and for my life being the present mother my daughter needs me to be has been the biggest challenge.
Love Always,

Quoting michaelsmom777:it's truly incredible! and interesting how we always feel like were the only ones struggling with certain aspects of our lives when in reality we're never alone. Thanks for your encouragement. Just this past weekend my six year old stopped me in my tracks when she asked me "mommy why are you so calm?", out of the mouth of babes. It's happening....
Tricia- thank you so much for sharing this. This has been one of my biggest issues in overcoming as well. How wonderful it is that we are becoming AWARE!
This is just the beginning. We are truely moving forward from here in a positive way and our children will notice it and respond to it.
We are becomming better mothers! Hooray for us!
Woo woo!
Love Always,
