Can we all PLEASE take a step back from our computers.

While you're taking a step back take some deep breaths in, thru your nose...slowly...fill your lungs all the way up...close your eyes...breathing in good thoughts...about your children, first kiss if it was good...magical moments that make your heart skip a beat...slowly, ever so slowly open your mouth and exhale...

Please if you find yourself getting upset by a thread, instead of posting to it, maybe we can breathe and know that not all of us are perfect Mamas...all of us try day in and day out to do our very best. Sometimes we struggle and isn't that what this board is for? For support during the struggling times and smiles for when we are at our best.

I have almost been brought to tears by how some of the Mamas have been treated. Do we really HAVE to post if we disagree? I know we all want our opinion heard, but at what cost?

We are your sisters...I am your sister...we may not do everything the same...but we are more alike than different...let us not forget and let us not stop learning from one another.

Please I ask you with my heart full of love for you, take a step back, breath deep. It will help with so many things! Use birth breathing...it is so cleansing, powerful, healing and it works.

I know some of you may roll your eyes or think I'm a crazy hippie, but I ask you to go past that and just see I'm a friend trying to make this place better.

Love and peace to you~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please help keep this bumped
