“Never lie to a child about doctors or medicine or anything else; but if you feel, as some people seem to feel, that life without lying is an impossibility, at least don't lie about the amount of pain likely to result from a surgical procedure, or about the taste of some medicine. If you know that something to be done will hurt, say so; if a mixture to be swallowed is unpleasant, say so. If you deceive a child once in such matters, do not imagine that it will trust you again. You do not deserve trust, and you will not get it.” PeopleIfsKnowsFeelsChildrenMatterDoneSeemsPainLyingHurtResultsImagineAmountTasteDeserveDoctorsMedicineImagine ThatDeceivingImpossibilityMixturesProceduresYou AgainNever LieDon't Lie Book:The House and Home: A Practical Book Source: The House and Home: A Practical Book
“I am a true 80s girl. I loved Kylie, Madonna, The Bangles and Human League. I fancied a couple of the Neighbours kids too and I loved Bros. God, I had terrible music taste. I’m getting a taste of my own medicine now, as my daughter’s been asking for some quite scary albums.” HumansKidsGirlMy OwnCoupleTerribleTasteDaughterAskingMedicineAlbumsScaryLeagueMy Daughter80sNeighbourBrosBangles Author:Donna Air
“We are uncomfortable because everything in our life keeps changing -- our inner moods, our bodies, our work, the people we love, the world we live in. We can't hold on to anything -- a beautiful sunset, a sweet taste, an intimate moment with a lover, our very existence as the body/mind we call self -- because all things come and go. Lacking any permanent satisfaction, we continuously need another injection of fuel, stimulation, reassurance from loved ones, medicine, exercise, and meditation. We are continually driven to become something more, to experience something else.” PeopleWorldNeedsMindSelfMomentsBodyBeautifulExistenceOur LivesMeditationSweetLoversExerciseTasteAll ThingsMedicineSatisfactionDrivenMoodPermanentUncomfortableIntimateFuelSunsetLoved OnesLackingComes And GoesStimulationReassuranceInjectionBeautiful SunsetIntimate Moments Book:Radical Acceptance: Awakening the Love that Heals Fear and Shame Source: Radical Acceptance: Awakening the Love that Heals Fear and Shame
