What my son taught me this week
|
Zipping through the room, Logan went to his bedroom window and peered outside. The rain was pouring down hard, hitting the window panes on the way down to the earth. The rain droplets on the tree leaves dripped slowly in comparison to the intensity of the rain pouring downward. Logan and I stood still and were mesmerized by the sight before us. His wonderment turned into excitement and he put his hand on the window trying to feel the rain. Logan turned to me puzzled that he couldn’t feel the rain. “Mommy rain” “Sorry Logan, but we can’t feel the rain. This is a window that lets us see outside.” Logan looked at me somewhat confused. An idea popped into my head, “Logan, can you stretch out your arms?” With a huge smile on his face, he stretched out his arms and I lifted him up. I carried him to the porch where I opened the door. The momentary silence of the storm was filled by the sound of rain hitting the ground with an occasional sound in the sky. Logan was excited and stared outside, taking it all in. I did too, enjoying the moment with my son. What stuck out to me was that this was not my first rainstorm but it was one of the few times that I was present in the moment and truly appreciating the sight before me. It becomes second nature to overlook the sunny days, the rainstorms, and just nature around us as we tend to motherhood, business, and life in general. We get so preoccupied with what needs to be done in the future or thinking about what happened in the past that we forget what is right in front of us. It took my son and a rainstorm to remind myself of this. Where in your life can you take a moment to be present today? You are loved, Dr. Celia |

Hey Reader, Based on last week’s email, I got a couple of emails asking me about what wall calendar I use. I was surprised because I normally don’t get asked what I use behind the scenes. It got me thinking about maybe this is something you might like to know as well. My favorite wall planner- Etsy Quarterly Wall Calender at PlanTheThingsCo I spent 2-3 hours checking out Etsy and landed on this calendar. My reasoning for getting this is that it is aesthetically pleasing to look at, the boxes...
Hey Reader! Just because, today I thought it’d be fun to share with you three things that have been on my mind lately. Think of this like a let’s get real coffee chat … only better … because you don’t have to make awkward small talk or smile-nod fake-polite if you think anything I say here is off the wall! #win-win Three things on my mind lately: #1 - Why is there an upward trend of digging into someone’s pain points? I understand that speaking about pain points is understanding and relating...
Hey Reader! One thing I see a lot of people debate nearly every day on Christian space is: Should you be like the Proverbs 31 woman? As someone taking time to understand the Bible, a board-certified psychiatrist who has seen over 1000 patients in my career, and a certified life coach, You should be like Proverbs 31 woman but not the misrepresentation of it! Proverbs 31 has been used to demonstrate the standard of what a married wife should be: pure; godly; devoted wife and mother; perfect...
