I want to show my kids

I want to teach my children about their innate knowledge and power and potential and how to access that and use it to acheive what they desire.
I want to help them avoid being categorized by "normal" and find out what their individual role in the world is.
I work at an agency that works with foster kids, so I have 15 other kids that are part of me and my life. I am trying to remind the people I work with and that I am surrounded by through this job of some of the reasons they chose to work in this field (b/c its usually not the money :) I do not want people to be unrealistic, but I don't want them to get so bogged down in the politics and the ass-kissing that they forget that we are there because there are damaged children who need our attention.
They don't need our pity.
They don't need to be coddled or limited or patronized.
They need to be developed and encouraged and paid attention to and acknowledged and given boundaries and held accountable and given positive emotional support through it all.
And, if something is not working, then we need to fix it; not pretend that it will get better on its own or that it is too big a problem to attend to.

I spent a lot of years giving me away and now I am taking me back so that I have something valuable and worthwhile to offer my intimate, my children, my friends, my community, and the world. I want to have an environment that allows for the individual expression of thoughts and ideas and for the communal responsibility and enjoyment of each other.

I want to remember that we can and do impact and affect each other and we should not avoid it; rather we should find ways to enhance eachother by being our most valid selves.
