thoughts upon the third child...

How do your thoughts, your stress, your prayers influence the future personality of your child? My first child is calm, balanced, quiet...while he was incubating I was not working, slept a lot and ate a lot, said at least an hour of prayers in the morning, every morning, said prayers for him, and prayers for his father, focused on how I could be of service...now I am desperately trying to find time to meditate...eat and deal... saying--not necessarily feeling--prayers while children are climbing on me... How does the personality/interests/gifts of the child influence the mother? my second son started dancing before he started walking...in utero I danced with my husband and older child almost every night after dinner...NOT what I do now, or ever did prior... expected release upon the world: April 27

tsunami waves leave the body clinging, blistering drops of pain cascading down the spine glistening, shimmering the hand lets go and grasps at kindness moments too late. ... what won't kill you will make you stronger ... "the true lover yearneth for tribulation..."
