Linking the transcendentals to potty training is a literary feat. *Salute*
Being grounded in my relationship with my wife definitely helps with potty training. Praising one another for the moments when we were exceptionally calm has been a helpful strategy in particular. Also, offering to give one another a break when there are visible signs of starting to “unhinge.” Honestly, I’m thinking about not only potty training, but all the situations ... all the time ... with all the kids.
I love this. This is something I've been working on for a while a now: being the same person everywhere. I've found interesting that all my college and pre-reversion friends long for "the glory days" of two decades ago. Even though we are in similar stages of life, I can see how I'm the weird one for practicing the faith and having "a lot" of children. It's an interesting balancing act because the Walther they knew twenty years ago is still me but different. Alas, it's not my job to make them accept who I am, I just try to witness and act the same way everywhere.
I love marriage meetings. It’s where we discuss everything from finances to how we, mostly me, can show up better for one another. I think it really helps carving out the time for this because it creates a space where you can look forward to sharing what’s really going on. Now that I think of it, it also sounds like the perfect place to model for kids how to solve conflict and have conversations as well.

I recently learned about the transcendentals and I love seeing it pop more and more everywhere I look.
Beautiful.

There is great wisdom in this. Thank you Sara.
