We recently enjoyed spending an evening with the Hogues and their daughter Julia. It was inspiring to hear their story, and then to share how our stories intersect and relate to theirs. Thanks to Amy and Mark for hosting in their oh - so - cute and cozy abode.
Their honesty and their transparency allowed us to learn about the nuts and bolts of how they have lived out their values. I enjoyed hearing their relaxed and non-rigid approach to life. Here are a few tidbits that I will take away from the evening:
- anything can become your religion if you lose focus
- flexibility trumps rigidity
- delaying your gratification is good for you and your children - it provides that "wow" factor
- sometimes it's OK to "blow the wad" on things or experiences that you value
- some tools are very useful to have
Please, add your own tidbits....from the evening, or as my daughter Kaija would say, from your own coconut.
