This post is about love. family. relationships.
I'm sharing and encouraging you to read it and have your own reflection and thought about your habits VS. your values and interests.. Too often, I believe, we stick to our habit without questioning ourselves... It's an automatic natural thing to do.
Yet- we are able to check and adjust, we are able to choose another option over our old ones, we are here to evolve! to learn! to try!
I find myself making so many mistakes, yet, I also stop to celebrate more and more my good choices, my thinking process, my pauses and intention to my steps and my will.
Here to a great journey, of surrending and embracing the lessons awaits for us out here in our fantastic world!!
Yours,

Tip #96- family ties... melting my tough boy..
Do u also find your kids tough sometimes ? Not in the sense of falling and standing right up, saying it’s ok and holding their tears ... in the sense of playing hard to get near their friends?
My 2nd child, moragi, is a proper “Sabra” (a cactus grows in israel), meaning , he’s Super tough on the outside , even a bit spiky sometimes towards me, and yet - Super soft on the inside ... gentle and sensitive, very high emotional intelligence, superb ability to read situations,.. amazing soul.
This week we head to Portugal for his team international football tournament. Great excitement and a beautiful achievement for him and his team mates.
The 1st day in, he was already “cold” to me and his brothers, like he was subconsciously (or consciously) protecting himself from blending in the family in such a professional environment... I knew it will happen, it always does.
But!!!! This time I came ready 🙂 I didn’t chase him or pushed myself telling him what to eat etc.... I took a step back, talking in general near him , hoping he listen... I asked him if I can help in anyway, if he needs my help, offered a massage for his soar legs and complimenting him on his independence...
And..... it worked!!!!!
He put down his “annoying mum alert shield” and allowed me to take care of him in a gentle way.
I need to remind myself I’m the key fir my kids relationship. I get carried away sometimes responding rather then leading.
I made a commitment to myself- to remember it. To lead and guide, to avoid managing them and driving them bananas 😂😂😂😂
May the force be with me !
Happy summer to all of u dear people
Yours,
Dana
