Ciera (age 9) and I had a tough morning getting out the door to get to school. She and I decided it was the “worst morning ever”. It was no fun. Ciera didn’t get out of bed for 45 minutes, she had to get ready in 5 minutes, she didn’t get the shower that she needs so badly for her dreadlock hair, she ate her breakfast in the car, she kicked the front seat, pulled Alana’s hair and even tried to hurt me. You get the picture.
Now I don’t want to brag, but I was pretty proud of how it all worked out. I (for the most part) didn’t loose my cool, got the kids to school almost on time, kept everyone safe, and I did ONE THING that got Ciera set up in a way that her tough morning didn’t need to impact the quality of the rest of her day or mine. And, the best part, Ciera came home all smiles, hugs and kisses, handing me artwork that said, “I’m sorry”.
What was that ONE THING that can change a day around? Watch this video to find out.
And after you watch, leave a message in the comments section if this was useful.
Jason and I are having a debate. He wants to do nice, pretty videos–with lighting, a microphone, and a good camera. I want to just get the video done, even if it’s just on my phone with no fancy lighting, during a bad hair day. Tell him that the video is great even without these “extras”. Thanks!
XOX,
Cecilia (and Jason)
