14.01.2022 In the not-too-distant past, husbands hitting their wives was viewed as not only a societal norm, but also a necessary part of maintaining a harmonious, success...ful marriage. In fact, a man who epitomizes the words 'calm and controlled,' Sean Connery, shared his thoughts on the ’reasonable smacking’ of his wife in a 1987 interview with Barbara Walters in which he explained the necessity of using punitive methods to control women. He believed that if a woman was asking for a smack in the mouth for backtalking a man, she should get it. The core belief behind ‘reasonable smacking’ of wives was that there was no other effective way to control them. I agree. If controlling another human being is the goal, then force is necessary. Fear, intimidation, threats, power-plays, physical pain, those are the means of control. But, if growing healthy humans is the goal, then building trust relationships, encouraging, guiding, leading, teaching, and communicating are the tools for success. Many parents simply don’t know what else to do. They were raised with spanking and other punishment-based parenting methods as a means of control and turned out okay so they default to their own parents’ choices without researching alternatives to spanking or considering whether okay could be improved upon. Consider this, more than 90% of American parents admit to spanking their children, and yet the common contention is that it’s a decline in spanking that is responsible for the purportedly escalating rates of youth violence and crime. Is it really the less than 10% of children who aren’t spanked who are responsible for all the problems of our society? Or could it be that the 90% of children who are subject to violence at home in the form of being slapped, paddled, smacked, yanked, whipped, popped, spanked, etc. are taking those lessons out into the world? Is it just possible that children who are hit learn to hit? That children who are hurt learn to hurt? Perhaps the lesson they are learning is that ‘might is right’ and violence is the answer to their problems, the outlet for their stress, the route to getting others to do what they want. People throughout history have complained about ‘the trouble with kids today’ and they’ve pinned all the ills of their society on supposedly permissive parenting. They’ve ranted about out-of-control children, disrespectful youth, entitlement, spoiling, disobedience, violence, self-centeredness, etc: The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers. ~Socrates, 5th Century BC What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them? ~Plato, 5th Century BC I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint ~Hesiod, 8th Century BC The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress. ~Peter the Hermit, 13th Century AD Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe, though, there isn’t really any ‘trouble with kids today.’ Maybe the problem is with parents who repeat the patterns their own parents set or with societies who view normal stages of development as somehow abnormal. Maybe ’kid’s today’ are just kids like they have been through the ages, full of exuberance and curiosity and learning their way in a great big world, and a listening ear, gentle guidance, and trusted arms to turn to when inevitable mistakes are made are really all children need to grow up into kind, helpful, responsible, productive members of our society...

14.01.2022 No one likes to struggle. Struggle is unpleasant and uncomfortable, but there is no growth without it. When we save children from struggle, we prevent them fr...om reaching their full potential. It’s only through struggle that children learn to push past their comfort zone, develop persistence and problem-solving skills, and ultimately increase their capacity to reach goals and contribute to the world.

08.01.2022 Full Moon Meraki Mandala Full Moon in Aries This moon brings with it a lot of fire energy and will be having a huge influence on our emotions and energy.... With many planets still in retrograde there is a lot of confusion in the air, which is affecting our decision making and clarity. A lot of us could be feeling frustrated, angry and restless right now. Many of our belief systems are being stripped away and we are left feeling very vulnerable and uncomfortable as we face the truths that are being revealed. Our past hurt inner child is resurfacing and wanting us to feel the emotions and heal the traumas that have been limiting our true way of being. This work is confronting but we will be feeling like we have no where to hide any more and no longer want to suppress what we are feeling. As we work through this darkness we will find our own inner light and know that we can continue on. We will be finding a better balance of our dark and light that helps us to heal and welcomes home our true authentic self. It will be important to put in place very strong boundaries and cut out any toxicity from our lives that holds us back from this healing process. This may be in all aspects of our lives, with family and friends, our work, our diets or our surroundings. It is time to focus on our own self love and self worth, to bravely say no to whatever or whoever is holding us back. It may also be ourselves that we need to observe and check in with, to make sure we are not self sabotaging our own happiness. While this moon comes with fierce energy it is giving us the opportunity to clear the slate and welcome in the new beginnings that we are ready to make. If we are struggling with making decisions the universe may be helping us along the way. This may mean that we may have to see painful endings or bitter disappointments as a blessing in disguise and trust that there is something coming much better for us. We are being asked to pause and review all aspects of our lives and what is coming up for us right now. We must really think about what it is we are wanting to do differently and what changes we want to make for our future. This is a time to carefully reflect and put in a plan of action but we must be careful with this energy of making impulsive decisions that will only hurt us and what we are hoping to positively change in our lives. We must trust in the process of transformation, be patient and allow the changes and opportunities to flow with grace and ease. Full Moon Blessings to you all...go very gently these next few days and allow yourself to take the time you need to quietly reflect. It’s a good time to ritual, write in your journals, cleanse, ground, reach out to a friend or make the time to see a professional if you are urgently needing extra support. Remember you do not have to do this alone. You are important and You are worth it. Much love, Trudi
