Learning to Fly
A moment after he woke up, the 3yo asked: Mama, when will you teach me to fly? I hugged him close and sniffed his neck as tears flooded my eyes. I didn’t answer right then and there. When he comes home from preschool today I’ll have an answer ready for him: Never. Always. …
Jenny’s Rainy Day Letter (Hope in an Envelope 8)

New location for the Ithaca mothers’ support group
I’ve been leading the Ithaca PPD support group for 16 months. Since October 2010, our meetings took place at the lovely and amazing community room at the natural parenting store in downtown Ithaca.
