Thanks for sharing. :) I'm curious how it felt for your daughter and the two of you. Some teens might be embarassed others might be more open. Depends on the culture they are in, their friends, family dynamics, what they think is "cool"...but in my experience in the future, when they are older, they always end up having a positive imprint when there is openness and dialogue. I'm happy to hear that the conversation is opening up in your family. This is so important.
Awesome. I loved seeing, hearing, feeling the many layers of cycles mapped on top of each other and the idea of being able to become more exquisitely attuned at the body level. It makes a lot of intuitive sense that if this kind of listening was generalized in the culture, we would have a much better opportunity to feel our ways into more cooperative and creative society.
There was a little surprise involved when I described some details that wouldn’t normally be discussed, at least it wasn’t in my own growing up and knowing it was an out of territory discussion.
But my experience has been years of experience in art school, predominantly female because of the ‘giving up’ of parents who don’t know what to do with their daughters, but then art is ‘because I know what is needed’ to embrace change with beauty, understanding, meaning and social confidence.
Social confidence is not in any way extrovert, extroversion is a meme of a forcing function of another’s ego.
The should.
What was acceptance after our discussion was to be invited to sit among all my youngest daughter’s close friends around a camp fire.
I like the reminder of what I had an inkling to.
I described the right of passage to my youngest, her 16th birthday was last week, so it was an apology of sorts.
This then also allowed the menopause topic to generate some questions of what we are subjected to as a family.
