In the coming weeks as some of you remain together at home, we will be extending our support to you in the format of these blog posts. Thank you to the work of Mama Christina, we will share pieces of the Rose Rock curriculum that you can implement in your homes. We will also include some adult content, so that you may learn more about the LifeWays foundation of “life as the curriculum”. Like little sprouts awakening in the Spring, this blogging endeavor will be a time for us to grow and stretch–toward the ideal and the beautiful.
It may not feel like a time to be joyful when you are caught in the storm of adult experiences– inundated with news updates and stalked by anxiety. However, at times like these, it is critical for us to protect and cultivate reverence, gratitude, love, calm, and joy–for the sake of our sanity and for the health and vitality of our children. With adaptability, inner strength, and equanimity, we can become the calm in the storm for our families. We all have the ability to find reason to genuinely rejoice each day, to slow down and give our children the best parts of ourselves.
With love and solidarity,
Acacia and Shanah
Today we would like to share with you a song that is both joyful and empowering for everyone! Allison Davies , neurologic music therapist and brain care specialist, shared it on her Facebook page and YouTube channel. If you can, we encourage you to listen to her Facebook post as it gives you a little bit of information about why the song is so darn helpful! You can learn more about Allison Davies at allisondavies.com.au
We would also like to share a recipe for a tasty caffiene-free, immune-boosting Licorice Chai tea latte. Thank you to Dr. Heidi Lescanec, naturopathic doctor and culinary nutritionist, for sharing it on her website. She explains the benefits for licorice root in her posting, and the benefit for you is that it is easy to make with children and mixed with a glass of cold milk, the latte is a crowd-pleaser!
