Kindness in words creates confidence.

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.

Kindness is giving creates love.

Lao Tzu

I have this quote framed in my house and I read it every day.  It gives me a moment to check in and ask myself if I'm being kind in my words, thoughts, and deeds.

"I'm a Zen Mommy right now."

My kids translate that as --I can only do one thing at a time and if I add one more thing my head may explode!  Or I'll forget something or someone.  Or I will just end up doing a job that is not my best.  My practice is to give 100% in everything I do.

When I am a Zen Mommy I am much better to meet the needs of my kids and the never-ending demands of the day.

Honestly, it doesn't come as first nature.  I need to be intentional and work at doing just one thing at a time.  I grew up multitasking.  Now that I'm "mature" I understand that it is best if I do just one thing.
