#5003, yesterday's, had links that didn't work, so I'm back with a thank you for reading, an apology for yesterday's problem (my fault completely), and a repeat, with working links (I HOPE!).
If you usually read from e-mail or on a phone, maybe visit from a computer or iPad so you can play with the randomizer and "Themes in the Images" (tags of photo elements). I'm not sure how it shows from other tablets, but the iPad works.
Thank you for reading!
(I had intended to make a big deal of the 5,000th post, but it came in the midst of me keeping grandkids for five days while their parents were out of state, so this is a small deal, about #5004.)
"Being there for and with the family" seems so simple and yet many parents miss out on it without even leaving the house. Maybe it's because of English. Maybe we think we're "being there with our family" just because we can hear them in the other room. There is a special kind of "being" and a thoughtful kind of "with" that are necessary for unschooling and mindful parenting to work.

I love the simplicity and the gentle power of this message so much, Sandra!
Congratulations on the 5004th post!! :D
Your succinct, yet rich and nourishing guidance has never failed to help me centre back straight to my heart, and the heart of the matter, of how I wish to be with my kids, my husband and my family.
I genuinely appreciate all the goodness you have continued to share over the years. Thank you for all you do!
Now to explore the fun links a little :D !
