I am an adult. Adult responsibilities. Bills to pay, children to lead, tasks to accomplish, a home to clean and maintain. And yet, there is still a little three-year-old inside of me demanding attention over and over again in the most inopportune times and the unlikeliest of places. I have also witnessed this with many other ‘adults’ who, regardless of their chronological age, are reduced to toddlers demanding what they want even when there is a lack of logic behind the request. I have pondered this for many years and joked with coworkers and friends alike, not understanding the significance of these tantrums, but the dots finally connected for me this week.

Having a fear of heights is not uncommon and something that I have lived with since I was a child. While having a healthy sense of the danger present when being up high is normal for most people, for me it goes beyond the normal sense of caution. It manifests not just with spiraling thoughts but also physically with my palms becoming sweaty and literally aching. This is not limited to just my own physical presence of being up high. The fear and the sensations come to life also in witnessing others whether in person, in a still picture or in a video as they are perched in what appears to me to be a precarious position. For much of my early life it was easy to avoid most situations that would incite this uncontrollable reaction, but when I made the decision to learn to ski, facing this fear and figuring out how to tame it became a necessity.

As my boys were growing up they were involved in the usual team sports, soccer (AYSO-all your Saturdays occupied), basketball and baseball with thankfully only one season of football thrown in. My husband and I being the dedicated parents we thought we were supposed to be, were not content to sit on the sidelines and the majority of the time we found ourselves as coach, assistant coach, ref, team mom, etc. There always seemed to be need and not enough volunteers. Though the sports merry-go-round seemed to constantly spin and at times was overwhelming, those are memories that I cherish.

Should & Entitlement

It’s funny how we recognize something in another that we don’t see in ourselves. I had heard often that others are a mirror to us if we care to look and pay attention but I am not sure I ever truly understood or believed this theory. I have found that when I am sitting in judgement of another that is usually a signal that I have healing to address but for other emotions or thoughts which I don’t identify as a ‘judgement’ I hadn’t felt this mirror business held true. Until I listened to a podcast by Kara Lowentheil about entitlement.

‘Tis the Gift Receiving Season

For my family December is a month of traditions. Special foods, celebrations, decorations, music, candy canes, snowmen, elves, family, friends, and gifts. With all this activity, gifts however, seem to dominate and be an integral part of the month whether arrival is by Santa’s sleigh, a silent angel or someone we know well. I have always enjoyed giving gifts to others, trying to find that special something that will light up their eyes or be treasured for years to come. Not always an easy task and not always accomplished but there is still the challenge in trying and joy in succeeding . Read more “‘Tis the Gift Receiving Season” →
