Good Song

"I'm About To Come Alive"
TRAIN

I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
 Maybe we were too young
 Goodbye, I've gotta go
 I can hear the baby waking up
 Got to get back to the life I know

I should have never believed him
 Maybe I should just leave him

Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
 Don't give up on me
 I'm about to come alive
 And I know that it's been hard
 And it's been a long time coming
 Don't give up on me
 I'm about to come alive

No one thought I was good enough for you
 Except for you
 Don't let them be right
 After all that we've been through
 'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
 There's a place for me
 A place with you

In every frame upon our wall
 Lies a face that's seen it all
 Through ups and downs and then more downs
 We helped each other off of the ground
 No one knows what we've been through
 Making it ain't making it without you

I'm Writing a Book

I've been writing a book for over 5 years now.  When I first started writing I would only go in spurts of manic typing followed by months of nothing.  Looking back on what I had written was always interesting because I don't remember what I wrote, and I am generally surprised at the insight and elegance of what I typed out.  I find old writings of mine all the time, and some of them I still get so anxious about sharing, but I noticed that comes with a theme of prior personal judgment of self.  One self in particular.  I have no faith in my inner teacher.  I am not the most confident person when it comes to sharing new ideas or my perceptions of situations.  Oh I'm definitely a bold and thoughtful person, but I don't want to discuss my reasons for my choices.  When I do, afterwards I get anxious about how others felt about what I said or how I said it.  I will tell myself I don't have valuable insight, everyone already knows what I know, no one wants to learn what I…

New Beginnings

Image
After tons of research and conversations, we've decided to try something completely new.  The kids are going to be home with me next year instead of attending school.  I'm writing all about it on another blog for anyone interested in following this little adventure :)  We probably will also have a few trips to Germany and elsewhere mixed in... SO EXCITED!  I get really nervous about telling people about my choices for some reason, but I'm working on it.  It was time to finally let everyone know.

The Bullied Become Bullies

I believe the main reason bullying has become such a problem is our continued mistreatment of children.  We are bullies to them.  We are sarcastic and cynical and disrespectful.  We lord our power over them.  We hit them.  We say everything we want, however we want, as loud as we want, and tell them they cannot respond similarly.  We tell them how they feel and how they should feel.  We tell them what their intentions are.  We don't ask them or help them think through these complicated issues.  We don't practice patience.  We publicly shame them.  We don't trust them or have faith in their abilities.  We tell them what they can wear and say and when they can eat, sleep, even go to the bathroom.  It's insane.  We say "you can be anything", but our actions are fear-filled and insecure and opposite our words.  We give them no autonomy or control over their own lives.

This is especially true during middle school years, when kids are earnestly trying to become in…
