Forget the Terrible Twos. We Need to Talk About the F*ck You Fours
The Terrible Twos Got Nothing On The F*cking Fours
If I want to raise confident adults, I must accept opinionated children
I wish you joy.
So much joy your heart feels full.
I wish you time.
Time to take everything in and catch the little moments that make life worth living.
I wish you courage.
To sit beside that empty place at the table and feel gratitude for the days you once spent together and the beautiful memories you made.
I wish you patience.
To see above the chaos and waste no time on trivialities, life is way too short for that.
I wish you enough.
Enough money.
Enough food.
Enough love.
But mostly I wish you enough compassion, so that you may open your arms, your heart, your home, your wallet…to anyone in need this season.
For there are many in need this season.
It may be a card and a chat for a lonely neighbour, or a pair of gloves to a man sleeping rough.
It may be a phone call.
It may be an offer of a grocery run for an elderly person living alone.
It may be simply a smile.
It may be forgiveness to a friend who did you wrong.
Whatever it is, I wish that you will give it.
I wish that we will all give it.
This is my wish, at Christmas.
THIS IS MY WISH FOR YOU… At Christmas

You don’t have to train your kids. Independence arrives on its own. “Independence emerges naturally from dependence. It’s ok to wait until it happens on its own. The gift of an unhurried childhood is a wonderful thing.”

Happy Hanukkah!
For the Lam-Voivod Family
The Eight Candles of Hanukkah
The first candle glows with a wish
for all the best things in life.
The second radiates the love
that’s in your heart.
The third candle gleams with good luck
and success in all you do.
The fourth is a beam for friendships
that stay with you forever…
The fifth candle’s a ray of closeness
for family near and far,
and the sixth shines for good health,
today and every day.
The seventh candle flickers softly
for the joy found in simple pleasures,
and the eighth…
a tiny beacon of peace and happiness.
As your menorah glows with light,
may all eight days be warm and bright
with happiness.
