My youngest, she knows how to sparkle. It’s just who she is.
It’s the clothes she wears, the sound of her laughter, the way she dives headlong into life, she gives everything to whatever activity is required of her (school work, dancing, drawing, singing). She goes through life with heart and soul and a whole lot of sparkle. It’s pure joy watching her.
At ten, without worry or obligation past brushing her teeth, doing her homework and being nice to her siblings – her life is pretty stress free, sparkle comes a little easier.
As she grows up and responsibilities come there will come a time when the sparkle is a little dulled and worn.
As an adult and a busy parent I know what it’s like to lose a little sparkle along the way …. I have also learnt a few ways how to shine it up again.
How do you keep your sparkle and shine? is there an activity that refreshes you? or something you do every day to keep above the stresses of life?
In the coming weeks I am really looking forward to sharing some “sparkle and shine” ideas with you.
