Parents don't come full bloom at the birth of the first baby. In fact parenting is about growing. It's about our own growing as much as it is about our children's growing and that kind of growing happens little by little.

You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you.

Play is really the work of childhood.

Deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.

Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.

It's a miracle when we finally discover whom we're best equipped to serve.
