March moves us into the promise of spring once again. We might notice how the entire period of childhood resembles this changeable and inspiring season ... of new developments, new characteristics, first-time understandings, renewed efforts, directions, attitudes and behaviors. Every moment is an opportunity to take the better part of what our children present to us us and strengthen this!

Express appreciation for that part presented, give your expression the time and space it deserves so that its strength takes root in our children's awareness. As a privileged guide for each child in your charge, allow yourself the time and space you need to ensure that your words and actions truly reflect the good you believe can flourish.

This week make space and time throughout the day to pause, breathe, vision such good. Redirect yourself, selecting the posture, facial expressions, movements, and thoughts in alignment with this good. Elect to be this good in the space and time surrounding the children in your life here and now. Notice how your being matters for good for you and for them.

With gratitude we enjoy this greater good multiplying beneath the surface of all that is visible, the fabric of our eternal spring!
