Read This:
The stack of books next to my bed is high. I have a long list of books that have yet to be purchased or borrowed from the library. A girlfriend just gave me a heavy bag of books that I must read. But even with all the other books waiting, when I got to the end of Tiny Beautiful Things, I set it down on my lap for a moment, took a breath, and then opened it up and started again from the beginning. This book is that good.
In 2010, Cheryl Strayed, author of the bestselling memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail, was the anonymous Dear Sugar columnist for the online magazine The Rumpus. Tiny Beautiful Things is a collection of her columns in which Cheryl blends her personal stories with advice for the lovelorn, the confused, the grieving.
"The story of human intimacy is one of constantly allowing ourselves to see those we love most deeply in a new, more fractured light. Look hard. Risk that."

We're so happy that you've joined us, whether it's for life coaching with Kathleen, or in a baby sign language workshop with Bill or one of his many talented instructors, or maybe for a massage with a Touch Blue Sky therapist to ease into 2014 with a relaxed joyfulness.

Setting Goals - Beginning at the End
Each New Year's Eve since 
around 2008, Bill, our two boys, and I have gone out to dinner armed with notepads and pens to set our goals and intentions for the coming year. The boys' goals have gotten bigger as they have grown but Bill's and my goals have stayed rather stagnant, focused on growing our businesses, exercising more, blah blah blah.
However, this year I approached my goal setting process a little differently. I read Danielle La Porte's awesome book "The Fire Starter Sessions: A Soulful & Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms" in which Danielle explains that most of us go after our goals in a completely backwards way. We often set goals believing that we will feel a certain way once we've achieved them. Have a baby and feel overjoyed. Get a promotion and feel confident. Buy a home and feel secure. But so very often it doesn't work that way. We feel overwhelmed with the new baby, insecure in the new job, anxious in the new home. No closer to happiness, confidence, or comfort than we were when we originally set out.

I LOVE YOU |
Six month to seven months old is a perfect time to join a six-day Playgroup Series. When your baby is 13 to 14 months old, take a refresher course to improve your skills and increase your baby's signing vocabulary.
Touch Blue Sky offers two different playgroup series - Playgroup Boom and Playgroup Zoom. No need to take them in order; you can start with either one. Both Playgroups include the essential basic starter signs but vary in the more advanced vocabulary. Visit our website for more details.
