He is a wise, wise man!
such a true story... heat and light can generate from the same place but have very different outcomes... sounds like a very smart man and some lucky little boys!
That's really awesome. I think it must make a lot of sense to a young person too. Thanks for sharing.
Something to remember.
Very wise man, your husband!
wow...an absolutely profound statement. thanks for sharing!
Alexi is brilliant. I am going to make this my teaching theme for the yoga class I teach today. Thank you for that pearl!
Good one!
Wise words for sure!
I love all you share
Blessings
This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
That is a good one. Light is better than heat. I have had too much of the latter recently! Sick of it. xoxo
Wow- brilliant! Alexi sounds like a little yogi. As a mom moments like that must blow you away.
OK- I get it. Alexi is your husband, not one of those adorable boys. He is still brilliant and the boys are lucky!
I LOVE this. xo
So true! You are lucky to have a wonderful husband.
so true -- what a sweet moment of teaching your kids to be peacemakers!
Excellent words to live by!
Wise words to live by! I prefer light than heat any day. xo
I'll be writing this quote on the family blackboard tomorrow a.m. - it's lovely, and so true. (Also something I need to keep in mind, as I've been feeling "ungrounded" and emotional lately - ugh!)
Well said, Alexi.
