Universe Dots on Parenting

This past weekend, I was feeding Matthew when he fell asleep in my arms. As I’ve gotten into the habbit of doing during these moments, I catch up on my blog reading thanks to the iPad and Matthew both fitting in my lap at the same time (for now).  In the course of my blog wanderings, I came across this blog post of some Denver area Creatives who were reflecting on what they learned this year, this one quote struck me most at that moment:

Note: in the past I’ve posted stuff when the Universe was talking to me. Multiple things (usually in threes….) would come to me over the course of a day or two and be linked by a common theme. Needing to be shared. I’ve now started calling these Universe Dots. Connect them when you’re aware, ignore them if you’re not.  Find mine moving forward under this topic.
