While meditating in a good friend's backyard yesterday, I was given a tiny reminder by Nature. With closed eyes I gently swatted off my knee what felt like a mosquito just beginning to sting.
Opening them, I observed a bee sitting on my other knee. My friend commented that not only hadn't this ever happened but they'd never noticed bees in the yard.
So, while I sat, on her front porch, with baking soda paste on my knee, I contemplated what metaphor would be most helpful.
I chose: Bee Yourself.
Our children benefit when we are parenting them as our own unique selves.
