Speak a word of affirmation at the right moment in a child’s life and it’s like lighting up a whole roomful of possibilities. – Gary Smalley

Have you ever written your kids a letter?

The beginning of a new year is just around the corner and I have a little tradition. After we count down the New Year, we’ve listened to “Auld Lang Syne“, wished our company the best of the coming year and the house is silent I head into a quiet room with my computer and write the kids a letter.


The letter highlights their accomplishments of the year and gives me an opportunity to retell some great journeys and experiences. Some of these journeys that they may have forgotten about or while in the moment aren’t able to fully process. It’s just a little moment in time to give them a “time capsule” of their lives.

Once I’m finished writing each one I put it into their box and save it for a moment when they are a little older and will appreciate good old letters from Mom. I’m not sure what they’ll think of them when they read them but I’m hoping that they’ll enjoy going down memory lane and reading just how much they have grown up emotionally, physically and creatively.

Traditions are a great way of celebrating the past and there is something magical about sitting in the silence on the brand new morning of the new year and recalling the past so as to move forward and look towards the future.

If you’ve never tried writing a letter perhaps this year is a good year to start because it’s never too late.

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”

Quote

Whether or not you struggle with anxiety this is still something great to keep in mind:

“Whenever you perceive any feeling, whether pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral, simply embrace it with your awareness. Try to investigate the very nature of sensations. Aren’t they just movements of the mind? Isn’t it the same awareness that perceives them all, without being affected by them?” – Matthieu Ricard

Quote

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”
