Spirit Talk: Newborn – 12 months
These are written to be read to your child. Children love the sound of an adult’s voice, and the positive themes create a nurturing, empowering bond between the two of you.

The Source of Your Happiness

Sometimes it seems like I have the power to make you happy or unhappy.  When I do something you like, you giggle so freely, and when I don’t anticipate your needs fast enough, you cry like there’s no tomorrow.  But can I tell you a secret?  I am not the source of your happiness.  You are the source of your own happiness.  As you grow up, you’ll encounter all sorts of people and circumstances and it will seem easy to say that they are the source of your contentment or discontent.  But in every moment, in every situation, you can choose to connect to the spirit within you. There you’ll be reminded that happiness and well-being are the natural state of the world, and that nothing that happens to you can affect who you truly are.
