Insights from Metaphysical Mom!
The commitment to conscious parenting requires unequivocal steadfastness to showing up each day and mindfully responding to the thrills and chills, the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows, the wins and the losses--embracing each roller coaster moment to its fullest. This doesn't mean for me, though, that there aren't times of making huge mistakes, times of ending up with 'egg on my face', times when my actions or words demand an apology. Every little happening bears a gift, a lesson, a reward, especially--maybe only--when I re-connect with the silent observer who resides in that realm of equanimity regardless of outer conditions.
This Blog will journal some of my hits and misses in the conscious parenting voyage to raising happy, healthy kids! There will be little tidbits of inspiration from my morning quiet times. Also, it will let you know of updates to this site. Peace and Blessings!

Kissed by the Goddess of Bliss!
If you’d like to experience a feminine path of empowerment in which you can begin to relate to Goddesses as more than mythological figures, instead bringing them into your heart as active catalysts for your awakening and service, then I’d like to introduce you to Sally Kempton.
Sally is one of our most authentic and committed teachers of the way of the divine feminine. She’s steeped in Eastern devotional practices as a scholar and practitioner, with remarkable insights into how to harness these devotional practices in the modern world.
That’s why I’m thrilled to be able to invite you to a FREE teleseminar, hosted by The Shift Network, where Sally will open the portals to a new understanding of what a Goddess practice really is during “Kissed by the Goddess of Bliss: Reclaiming the Subtle Eros of Life Through the Hindu Goddess Lalita.”
Reserve your free seat here: Kissed by the Goddess of Bliss
During this program, you’ll learn:
What does it mean to have an evolutionary relationship with a divine ‘other’, and how that relationship can open you to your human relationships.How different goddess energies express themselves through you, as you, and how to find the enlightened core of the Goddess. How goddess energy transforms our relationship to our personal and transpersonal power.The difference between egoic desire and enlightened desire, and how to know when your desires are aligned with your highest truth. On this call, Sally will introduce you to Lalita, who, while lesser known than some Goddesses like Durga or Lakshmi, Lalita has a particularly powerful way of calling us into a relationship with bliss.
You will discover the way to invoke this energy in yourself through meditation and contemplation, so that you can express it powerfully in different aspects of your life.
It’s going to be fascinating! Register here (it’s FREE) and you will receive a link to the recording if you can’t make the scheduled call: Kissed by the Goddess of Bliss

PS: Sally makes it clear that Lalita holds keys to expand your capacity for vibrant pleasure and offers keys for the true healing of our world. Kissed by the Goddess of Bliss

How to raise more joyful resilient children ...
If we are to truly make a difference in our world, we must look to how we parent our children. They are our future.
How we raise them plays a undeniable role in their ability to contribute to the greater good with deep compassion and confidence.
And all the help we can get is a good thing. That is why I am so excited about and want everyone to know about -- not only those with kids of their own -- the upcoming, Parenting with Presence Summit. It really resonates with my strongest beliefs that it is so important that we all bring conscious awareness to raising our collective consciousness and our future generations.
This powerful 4-day event, which starts next Tuesday, features world-renowned luminaries and parenting experts, including Host Susan Stiffelman, Marianne Williams, Arianna Huffington, Jane Goodall, Harville Hendrix, Congressman Tim Ryan and many more.
They will be sharing from the fields of psychology, science and spirituality, deep insights and proven parenting strategies -- so that we'll have the necessary skills to help our kids navigate this increasingly complex world with joy and resilience.
If you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, “Auntie” or “Uncle,” this summit will provide you information that should have come in the “owner’s manual” that you wish accompanied every child – but doesn’t!
Please help spread the word about this important event. The future of our world literally rests in the hands, minds and hearts of our children. The more we can do, as parents, to prepare them for this responsibility–the more beautiful our world will become.
Let others know they can join you here: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/pwp14MM/MetaphysicalMom/

No-cost online Parenting with Presence Summit ... join 20 Top Experts
We're there to experience the irritation, frustration and even anger, when faced with negotiations and power struggles – over everything from homework to brushing teeth to bedtime. As a parent, we know the beauty and blessings that our children bring into our life. We also know the challenges that come with raising a child.
The little bundle of joy that arrives in our world (without an owner's manual!) magically transforms into a toddler, and eventually, a teenager. And we’re there with them every step of the way – through the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows.
And we’re also there for the indescribable sweetness – moments when our kids surprise us with their curiosity and heart-melting innocence. Through all the challenges and joyful moments, we are given an opportunity to grow, expand and evolve into a more effective parent – and a more conscious human being.
That's why I am inviting you to join me at The Parenting Presence Summit. The line-up of speakers is awesome and I have learned so much from many of them.
"See" you there!
