Future conversations

I was sitting here, at my handmade desk (by my hubby) contemplating where to start, what to write and about what message I'd like to send. When I'm stuck I look around for inspiration. I see the snow quickly falling outside, a kitchen floor that needs to be swept & mopped, a stack of papers that needs to be sorted. I ignore the house chores and turn to the internet. I always find inspiration from the mothers that write blogs I follow and read as often as I can. I knew I'd find something great from these wise women. 

The few blogs I visit are interesting to me because they are moms and crafters. They are sensitive, real people. I relate to them. Their words pull at my mind and heart. In a way I feel connected to them…if that's not to strange…

One blog I follow is called Southern Disposition. I stumbled on this blog shortly after E was born. I was browsing the world wide web to see what other people were blogging about. And I found a blog that is a great afternoon read. I enjoy reading about the life this Mom leads. 

Today I went to read her blog and I found an amazing entry. You'll have to read it to know what I mean. She nails the subject of beauty; at least I think so. It made me start to prepare in my mind what and how I want to teach my little girl for the rest of her life. There are so many conversations to be had. I hope that I have the wisdom that this mother does as she tells her daughter we are beautiful in our own way. 

I know their will be good conversations, bad ones and a couple ugly ones too. I also know, E will trust me with what I say and the actions I take in showing her what the world is about. Everyday, I want to remember this. I want to take the time to see the big picture and say the right words to her. I realize the importance of my actions will imprint E and who she becomes. 

I know, it's deep. I'm definitely inspired today. 

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the topic of conversations with children, memories, funny stories, anything you'd like to share.

Keep loving.
