These meditations cover the profound lessons that live in the ordinary moments - finding joy in family routines, taking time to truly listen to our kids without multitasking, learning from parenting mistakes with humility, balancing gentle nurturing with high expectations, and being present through life's ups and downs.

Raising children into their best selves takes consistent work and learning. There will always be missteps amidst the

milestones. But through pausing to seek wisdom, we gain strength for the journey.

It is my hope this book will speak to your heart and offer comfort, perspective and flashes of insight to carry with you through the parenting path from toddlerhood up through the teenage years. May we all find peace and purpose along the way, deepening connection to ourselves and each other.
