I totally understand how your kids feel. I never understood how unique was my upbringing until I was older. Even though I spent many years feeling lost or lacking in identity, I would not change a thing. It gave me an awesome foundation. It is wonderful that you are raising your kids with love and light. How I wish more people would do that! :) @ Joy – Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I totally understand how your kids feel.

What an amazing list. I love that your parents were so open minded. I try to raise my children with Love and Light, and have incorporated so much into my own beliefs that they too have the "problem" of not fitting into one select group. Any select group, really. To me that is okay because I know they are open loving generous people who embrace life; they think the way we live is awfully ordinary until others point out to them how extraordinary it is. That just means we need new "others" around us:) And more forays into nature:) Nadia,

I really appreciate it. And I hear you about how easy it is to forget about how everything is an extension of you. That is why being in the moment and being aware of your actions are both very important. So much of human behavior is unconscious and that is dangerous when we act without awareness. However, every second is a chance to start fresh. So it is never too late to become more aware. @ Susan – Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it.

I'll add my voice to so many who appreciate reading this. Thank you. All the things you list deserve attention, but the final one stays with me. It's easy to forget that EVERYTHING I do is an extension of who I am. There are chores and duties and routines that I easily think of as less important/rewarding/interesting than the things I want to be doing. If I'm more or less enduring a situation, what I'm doing doesn't feel like an extension of who I am. Yet in even situations not of our choosing, we have some choice in how to act. Thanks for the reminder. This is such a wise and thoughtful post, Nadia. I’ll add my voice to so many who appreciate reading this. Thank you.

Your idea about placing these ten lessons on an index card is an awesome idea. Maybe I will do that...hmmmm! :) @ Megan - Thank you so much for all the kind things you wrote. Good for you for living now with the thought that you are God! That is awesome. That mere shift in perception can do wonders. It makes us more aware of our innate powers and allows us to proceed with a greater sense of peace. You go, girl! :) @ SuZen - Thank you so much. It is my plan to write such a book. I have been trying to find an agent. I had one but then he decided to focus more on his career so I am back to square one. However, I may end up self-publishing it. We shall see. There are a lot of lessons to share and I would love to do so. :) @ Jannie - You are welcome and thank you for all the kind things you wrote. I am touched. Fear is poison and nothing is worse than being consumed with fear. And it is wonderful that you feel that God within you when you are being loving, patient, kind and giving. Keep shining! :) @ Jodi – Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Your idea about placing these ten lessons on an index card is an awesome idea. Maybe I will do that…hmmmm! :)
