"There is nothing enlightened abut shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you…as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
~Marianne Williamson “A Return to Love”
Wow. I always knew I needed to model self esteem to my daughters. How else can they become confident women without first seeing it reflected by the Queen Bee in their childhood home? But, I never considered my confidence could be contagious, spreading to other women.
Today, feel good about yourself, my bloggy friends, and know that you are doing a good deed. A good deed for yourself, your children and other women. Pass the flame, ladies. And, Blogosphere, hear us roar!
On that same uplifting note, I would like to introduce you to a wonderfully positive and informative new site dedicated to mothering girls. Started by a psychotherapist and mother of 3 girls, this site is the only one of it’s kind. Of course, I am tooting my horn a bit. I am a contributing author to the site. Ya might wanna take a little peek. :-) Click here, here or here to see what I have contributed. Yes, some of the articles apply to boys as well. I write about colic and academic issues. So, please read if you have sons!

You've been published! Thanks for the info, I will checkit out. I do have three girls:)
I wonder why so many women feel badly about themselves? It doesn't seem to affect men in the same way. Maybe it's the whole appearance thing (for some reason the world cares more about the way women look).
Parenting Pinks makes me wish I had a girl (in addition to the boy, not instead of - just to be clear). Maybe next round I'll get a chance to buy pink.
What a nifty idea! I'm headed over right now to check out parentingpink. Thanks for the tip! :)
I was hoping today would be Bookworm Wed! I will try to pass the flame, especially to my daughters. Thanks for the new link, I'll go check it out!
I just recently subsscribed to the feed over at Parenting Pink! I love it! Congrats to you on your authorship!
(I love the quote you used from Marianne Williamson. I have that hanging in my bedroom so I see it every morning.)
Okay, I know nothing about mothering girls but I thought I'd pop over after seeing that you and I both spell our name the same way over a K's site. Cool!
lovely message! thank for sharing that!
Thanks for the link! I'll be checking it out for sure.
What a nice resource! I have a boy, but I'll pass this along to my sister and her lovely baby girl. Thanks.
Good old synchronicity working again, Michele!
Have been struggling with both issues this week.
My three girls and I, thank you.
Hugs.xx
What a fabulous site! I hope it's still around when I have a little girl!
I love Parentingpink.com :)
I try to have good self esteem to be a good example for my children, especially for my daughter. It's something I constantly struggle with, but I think it's worth it just to make sure my kids know it's okay to be who they are and to love themselves. :)
Great post. Self esteem in girls and women is such an important issue.
I have a boy, but I really needed the article on colic. We're dealing with that right now and I think I'm going crazy some days. :) So thanks!
How neat! I am following that site now! :)
Great post! Thanks for the link to parenting pink...I'm going to check out your contributions right now. :-)
