We have returned from our long pause on life.  A vacation to the beach.  A time away from it all.  A plentiful amounts of small moments to cherish with family.  Slow living.  Time to breathe.

Sigh.

We have returned from our long pause on life.  Two days of getting acclimated back to home life and summer living.  No real schedule yet.  Pajamas until noon.  Slow living.  Time to breathe.

Sigh. 

We have returned from our long pause on life.   But I'm going to continue some slow living this summer.  Living in the moment.  Treasuring being present.  Slow living.  Time to breathe.

Sigh.  And.  Breathe.

    I love this SOL. Remember to Sigh and Breath. Perfect start to summer. This so reminds me of a mentor text to use with students.

    Slow living is what my summer vacation is going to be about too! The school year is so full of rushing. I'm ready for few scheduled activities, lots of sleeping in, and a whole bunch of doing-whatever-we-want!

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
