Life As A Conscious Mom

FRIDAY WISDOM is based on Christine Agro’s Conscious Living Wisdom Cards (The Special Moms’ Edition) Calm Card #41 in The Conscious Living Wisdom Card (Special Moms’ Edition) Today I drew the Calm Card. What better way to end the week, then with a reminder to find ways to bring calm into our lives and into our children’s…

Several months back Caidin was repeatedly getting in trouble in school. Not capital ‘T’ trouble, mind you, but he was being asked to leave meeting or being spoken to by at least one teacher every day. He would get in the car and have that hangdog mopey look that I knew meant the day didn’t…

It can be hard to remember what it was like to be a little kid. If we consider the experience purely from a size perspective alone, we might be able to remember somewhat. Just the fact that the world is built for adults; chairs, drinking fountains, public bathroom stalls, the checkout counter; the world can…

Our son Caidin, who is eight, loves all things Pokémon. He has the cards, he has the DS Game, he watches it on television and when his best friend Sam comes over they make up Pokémon games to play on the trampoline. At first I was resistant to the whole Pokémon thing. But soon I…

I recently released my first book, 50 Ways to Live Life Consciously, and true to everything in my life, this experience is giving me so many opportunities to ‘walk my talk’.

Caidin has his final ‘share’ of the year at school today. On their ‘share’ day, kids get to bring something into class that they want to share with their classmates. (It’s the new form of show-n-tell – same idea, different name, seems like less pressure.) What to bring in is always a big deal. Caidin…

Some of my favorite moments happen when Caidin and I are doing things that allow us to ‘just be’. These moments create a great sense of connection. If your child is little, start doing these things now and they will become things you and your child turn to often, even as they grow-up. If your…

About a month ago I was on the radio talk show ‘Tell Me Your Story’. Host Richard Dugan and I had a great time talking about everything from Conscious Living to kids. After almost an hour, the interview was coming to a close. With 4 minutes left, Richard said to me, ‘Before we go, let…

What will your last words be?  We really have no idea and I’m certain most of us seldom think about it. What got me thinking about this was a loss our family experienced. Alice, a woman very near and dear to me, had a stroke that paralyzed her and rendered her unable to speak. Alice…
