Head Home Happier
At a family day-trip to a local lake over the weekend, I listened in on a mom's conversation with her four year old daughter. The mom was admiring the girl's flat, smooth tummy and the girl asked, "Do you have a pretty tummy too, Mommy?" And in the heartbeat of the moment between the girl's question and the mother's joking but negative answer, my heart broke a little. Because I could predict what the mom's answer would be. We probably all know the mom's answer because - if we were raised in this culture - it's most likely how we feel about our own bodies.
I struggle with a negative perception of my body. I look in the mirror and see a body that doesn't live up to my expectations. Saggy belly. Lumpy, veiny legs. Skin that makes me sigh sadly. And each time I evaluate my physical self against a standard set by a culture that does not love women's bodies (how can it when the standard of beauty is one that even most 17 year olds can't achieve?) I push away the part of me that holds my intuitive power.

Baby Sign Language
 | Teach your baby to sign 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.
