There is allot of insights into how to live life.  "Everything I needed to know I learned in Kindergarden" is always a favorite of mine; however, it is not completely true.  Learning to trust your instincts took years to develop.  I guess I was always unsure of myself, lacking confidence and self-esteem and had little awareness of my own power.  I was surrounded by authority figures who constantly tried to shape me.  To each of these individuals, I thank you.  Becoming a mother changes everything about your life.  Motherhood deepens your connection to all of life, making you a more active participant in both the joys and pains of living.  You seek out things in the world that will enhance life and pleasure in all you do for your family.  I have learned so much. It probably wasn't until I became a mother that I had the unparalleled opportunity to learn to trust my heart.  I have always felt I have a good instinct for people but I always gave everyone the benefit of doubt, now, I'm a little more critcal about whom I trust.
