A January baby too! Have you read the Martha Beck book Expecting Adam? I loved that book and Adam is amazing.. Do you have an enlightened support system? I'm sure my friend would be so happy to offer you support should you need it. So happy you enjoy the blog! xHollie Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620667138315505725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130151442776949628.post-19008656374959583942013-04-12T06:35:18.284-07:002013-04-12T06:35:18.284-07:00Hollie, I am also at home.

Thank you for reminding me that being present (mind, body, and heart) is the greatest "intervention" for both my son and myself.

My children are my greatest teachers, and it continues to be an ongoing process. So glad your husband posted your blog on Facebook. Looking forward to more insightful, honest postings from you.

I had too many things to do, I didn't know where to start and this post has been an oasis of wisdom and calm. I have been so far out of the present for the last 45 minutes, but now I'm going to get back to the now and enjoy the rest of my day.
