The awakened family. Familia constienta (II)

Published on by liorismeLeave a comment

Today, Dr. Shefali, the author of “The Awakened family”, “talks” about the control and the pressure we, as parents, tend to put on our children. I can’t help but notice how we actually do that when it comes to many aspects of our adult life. We so often try to control those things that are, actually, out of our control: the way other act, react, talk or do, the way a day unfolds ahead of us, the future, the thoughts and experiences…In fact, the only thing we should do is to observe ourselves (the answers are always within us), see what can be done (if something needs to be done) and then, just let go…trust…Which, I know, can be quite difficult in the modern society we live in, as we are thought from a young age that we are more of a human doing, than a human being…

Don’t wait for the perfect moment to start moving your body!

Published on by liorisme5 Comments

About 7 years ago, when I started to be into sports more seriously, it was not by far the perfect moment to do it:  I was still recovering from a complicated abdominal muscles surgery, my hemoglobin was still low, I had just lost my 12 years job, spring was late that year, so outside it was wet, dirty and cold, my kids were still small and needed me a lot, I was already on my late 30’s…

How the natural became the unnatural? / Cum naturalul a devenit nenatural?

Published on by liorisme4 Comments

This post is inspired by a day at Eva’s school, when she had for lunch “only” a full box of grapes. Eva told me how, at lunch time, everybody panicked, especially the growing ups. 🙂 She was asked many times if that is all she eats, if that is satiating enough, if she is not hungry etc. They all offered her either bread, fries or…ice cream. She refused and said she is just fine with what she eats, but the third time she has been offered an ice cream, she said yes. She told me she fully enjoyed the desert and that she had fun looking to how everybody was so worried about the fact she had for lunch only fruits.

Quinoa cu legume…Yummmy!

Published on by liorisme6 Comments

Pana acum, am folosit quinoa mai mult in retete – desert. De ceva vreme, o gatesc si cu legume si sunt tare incantata de gustul, de textura si de satietatea pe care o da acest preparat…Ne bucuram cu totii de un curcubeu de culori si de ingrediente sanatoase. O reteta care se gateste cu minim de efort si ofera multa savoare. Quinoa se poate poate adauga pur si simplu in salate. Pentru iubitorii de gusturi “tari”, se poate folosi putin mujdei de usturoi. 🙂

Familia constienta (I)

Published on by liorismeLeave a comment

In 15 ani, de cand sunt parinte, am citit foarte putine carti legate de cum sa cresti copii. Am avut motivele mele sa nu o fac; dar nu despre asta e vorba aici.

Cred mult in intuitia de parinte; in societatea de azi insa, e greu sa te mentii mereu pe pozitie, atunci cand ai alte idei despre cum sa educi si sa ai copii “buni”. Am fost criticata, de multe ori, pentru multe alegeri pe care le-am facut, ca parinte: ba pentru ca mi-am inscris  copiii tarziu la gradinita, ba pentru ca nu ii hranesc mai nicidoata cu carne si cu lactate, ba fiindca nu i-am vaccinat de la un moment dat,
