This month starts the theme of Play. Some of us might not quite feel like playing these days, either from covid burnout, a busy schedule, grief, physical pain, overwhelm. I encourage you to take baby steps. Like this.
Slowly, we can bring more moments of pause, more giggles with our kids, give our selves more chances to see the world with eyes full of wonder again. That's what I hope for us during this month of play.
I hope you enjoy the conversation below between me and Hippo. It was so lovely to make this video, and I hope that it's helpful for you and your kids as you talk about the changes that this year has brought and that life will continue to bring. Also check out the song!
In this video, Hippo and I discuss some of the change that is happening in our congregation. I tell Hippo that DL is leaving and we talk about why and that it's sad. We learn some EMF tapping and "bee breath" to help settle and calm ourselves. Then we talk about some exciting change: all the kids who are moving to new schools!
Ruby Finds A Worry, by Tom Percival. This is a wonderful story of a worry, personified as a big yellow puff ball. Ruby discovers that talking about her worry helps it to shrink.
A Princess of Great Daring, by Tobi Hill-Meyer. This is a story of a transgendered girl coming out to her friends. They jump into a make-believe game where Jamie gets to be the princess.
