Expectations and Opportunities

Lucyjoy, How I have appreciated reading your posts! I imagine you hope that others will learn and change their parenting as a result of your information. How do you measure that expectation? You will never really know how many people you influence. Please don't be discouraged. Just know you are helping. You are offering an opportunity. That is a gift with no strings attached. Don't take it personally whether people respond the way you had hoped. There, I got to say it. Don't take it personally.

When you have invested your caring and passion to another, it is hard to let go of the outcome. But the outcome is not yours. You know this. Life is an offering of the best we can give. That is the end of it. The offering and the caring and the passion. God bless you Lucy, and Thank you. Dianna
