Rock 'n Roll

Six years old had been an amazing ride. I am watching this little person start to sense and understand empathy. I am watching her start to see impact and feel guilt about impact she doesn't intend. I am starting to see her consider her options, make choices and be a little less implusive. She is also learning to love out loud telling us how she feels more often than not.

And her personality is beaming.

Last year, her teacher told us that they thought she might be president one day. But that they weren't sure if she'd be voted in, or if she'd just take it.

"That about sums up our lives parenting her," I jokingly responded.

In her birth chart, she is an Aries sun and moon. This is a set up for someone who is powerful, leaderful, and impactful in this world. This with her Libra rising sign also creates the impression of serving the people, justice, equity, fairness. We see this in her, so many moments of every day.

Two days ago, she decided to write a rock song. I was an audience member and had to participate. On cue, I had to give examples of things that I didn't think I could do, but I did anyway.

So she sings, and points to me.

"Birth!" I shout.

She laughs, and says "no, not that, something else."

Momentarily miffed (if only she knew), I told her "climb a mountain." She proceeded to sing how she climbed a mountain all the way to the top even though she didn't want to, and was brave.

She pointed to me again.

"Swam a big relay race," I exclaimed.

She sang about how she was nervous and scared and didn't think she could do it, but then she won "FFFIIIRRRSSSTTT PLACE!"

Then came the ending of this song...

"There were things I didn't really want to do, but I did them anyway. Because I always do what I want to do. I ALWAYS DO WHAT I WANT TO DOOOOO!"

This is my life people. She does what she wants to do. And is learning to love, laugh, live, play along the way. Whether or not she runs the world or runs her home or runs nothing at all, she will always do what she wants to do. And I am so grateful she is here in this life with me.
