December 18, Balance
Balance: Not too much, not too little, just enough.
The balance between routine and getting kids to try some other things, that they might not want to right at first, but with some enticement, you pretty much know they'd like it.
Balance between being way organized/controlling, and accepting unexpected opportunities.
Other balance points?

December 11, Hibernation, cocooning
Wednesday, December 11, we will have a chat on those sorts of still, fallow seasons when it seems nothing is happening. Some people think of it as hibernation, sometimes it seems like cocooning before a burst of energy.
How can we view downtime in ways that we can honor and appreciate it?
Here's a page on my site with a bit about these ideas:
