What school reports taught me about Living Fabulously

Barack Obama Quote

It was Sunday morning, I made a fresh pot of tea, the washing machine was whirring and the fire was blazing.  I snuggled on the couch in my Pjs and began the detailed read of the children’s half-year school reports.

The thought did not care, My courage needed the prickle. The thought became regular, Daily almost. Hinting and reminding, Like a letter to post. My husband said something, He was thinking […]

How my enthusiasm was blocking independence

February 24, 2014 By Karen Main 5 Comments

independence

If you have seen me over the last few days you may have noticed I am breathing rapidly, my eyes are darting all around and I rarely finish a sentence, let alone a thought.
