Reaching for it yourself…

“It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.” ~Joyce Maynard

Beautiful photo and inspiring quote. We know to lead by example but especially as a stay at home mom, I think I forget to reach for the stars. Thanks for the inspiration. Following your blog now!
Scarlet – being a stay at home mom provides more inspiration and example than we realize!!! :)Hugs to all of you,Genny
tahoe is my home! I miss it…
I really am learning by watching my son learn and how he mimics me.
Gorgeous shot! Wish I could spend another vacation in Tahoe!

What a beautiful picture Genny! I just love it! : )
Wow! Powerful. I think this is so true and I always say that my son is so busy WATCHING why I'm DOING to listen to what I'm saying. So I always try to DO what I expect him to do as well. I don't always succeed b/c I'm human, but ya know…I'm glad I found you through MBC! I'm your newest follower and definitely look forward to connecting with you more through our writing.Powerful. Just powerful.
