Warmth and Cold

This will be my last post for a while. I need to concentrate on preparing 'Magical Motherhood'  to make it instantly available as an ebook. (Paperback copies are still available and you can order by emailing; magicalmotherhood@rogers.com ) Then I'm planning a new book to incorporate, add to and enlarge some of the subjects I've touched upon in this blog.

So, you've probably heard about the latest diet craze, where you drink black coffee and take cold showers. Both of these to stimulate the metabolism, I presume.

Years ago I used to finish my shower with cold water, more to aid my immune system than to lose weight. That long ago winter I had no colds, which is unusual for me. So, when our youngest began to suffer from repeated colds I thought maybe he might benefit from cold baths. (!) Fortunately, this only happened a couple of times before I got a 'night message' which told me very firmly 'he needs warmth'.

Yes, as I wrote in one of the first posts, small children need warmth, and even not-so-small children, as our son was at that time. Physical and emotional warmth have a nourishing, encouraging and nurturing effect that will create a life-long, beneficial, well of strength for your child.

Blessings till you see me on your screen again.
