Life songs

At night as I'm putting my daughter down to bed I've been singing things to her about life in the form of a song. It's become one of my favorite moments with her (sometimes its the only moment I get with her) and it's really incredible. I sing to her about having the choice to choose to be whatever she wants, to explore the world, to remember to always find her happiness, to listen to her inner voice, to surround herself with love, with people who make her energized, to find the beauty in defeat and heartbreak.  The best part is she stares at me quietly when I sing these little improv songs and I feel like she can hear my message. Life is so stunningly wonderful and staggeringly heartbreaking and everything in between. I hope to help my little girl have a strong sense of self, an unyeilding ability to love and grow and an inner strength that can weather the toughest storm.
