“Having kids – the responsibility of rearing good, kind, ethical, responsible human beings – is the biggest job anyone can embark on.

As with any risk, you have to take a leap of faith and ask lots of wonderful people for their help and guidance.

I thank God every day for giving me the opportunity to parent.” – Maria Shriver

“Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!”
– J.R.R. Tolkien

“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers.
I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves.
And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons.
Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness,
but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche.”
– Hermann Hesse

“The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious.
And why shouldn’t be? – it is the same the angels breathe.” – Mark Twain

I’ll like you for always,
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”

 “There’s a fine line when expressing to a child the world is theirs while at the same time communicating humility.
The world is theirs, but they should not expect it to revolve around them.” – Me 🙂
