In my own experience and (when I take the vantage point of a "higher view", the kind of view where you can see behind the slammed door) I see the kid running out the door, it slamming or being slammed, then the kid is on the outside of the door perhaps/probably already doing her next thing. Meaning, the child may not have even heard the "Thanks for shutting the door quietly" and all this is in our mommy minds. Kids are busy! Our love is what they hear.

I grew up at a time when "do as I say" was the rule and as a child, my voice was never heard. It was as if I didn't exist. I am so great-ful now to experience and see motherhood the way I would have loved to have been treated as a child. One rarely sees an out of control child in a public place anymore, because they are with mothers who listen to them and acknowledge them as "people" with feelings and who respect their dignity. Moms and dads today enjoy their children. I am also great-ful to be in touch with like minded women who have found inner peace and whose voices have much to say. As an artist I paint mainly women and I believe that in each person, there exists an "angel". It is these angels that I endeavour to bring out in my series of ladies. The names and faces are conjured but in each painting, there is a reflection of an "inside angel" drawn from the memory of a past friendship or connection. I am enjoying this series and will let it carry me along my life's journey - I have truly found my voice! Robyn, thank you for bringing "Gratitude" into my life.

What beautiful sharing - very much in spirit of Finding Inner Peace in Troubled Times. Just for clarification - it is Stacey Robyn speaking of her experience with her loved child, not mine. I was quite inspired to listen to her speak about how she turned around her own anger - catching it in the moment and transforming the fire of her tongue into powerful acknowledgement - along with setting limits. This is a challenging thing to do, in real time, and I commend Stacey for her ability to show up in the moment. The video above is but a few minutes from a half hour long discussion. When you listen to the full interview in the series (http://www.innerpeaceseries.com/finding-inner-peace-in-troubled-times-with-gratitude), you get the entire conversation within context. Thanks again for showing up and expressing yourselves. I appreciate it.

To me it seemed manipulative. I see myself as that child being thanked for closing the door quietly, after slamming it. Suppose I didn't feel the tone or intent. I'd figure that what I had done with the door was the right thing to do. So this behavior is appropriate...I'd be thinking. But with the added intent and tone mixed in when verbalized, I'd be confused with the mixed message. And if you find yourself telling the child to stop slamming the door, and are honest/true to yourself (being the Love that We Are), where can you go wrong. We are all precious beings.
