The Spiritual Child by Lisa Miller. Quotes VI

-When we live authentically in an affirmative space of inspiration, events unfold in the realm of miracles.
-Love grows exponentially. You put a little bit of love and you get twice as much back.
-Suffering is lighter when we are bonded together.
-Don't stop with people: include pets or wildlife, and all aspects of nature. This can make a lovely bedtime ritual, a nightly remembering of all the love and support that exists for your child, from Mom and Dad and siblings to family far and near, naming each one and, especially for those who live far away, naming where they live to help your child feel their presence. For those who have passed on, you can say loved you even before you were born and still do. 
-Family is sacred.
-Many religious traditions hold that family members are purposefully brought together to share life lessons and help each other grow.
-We can notice one another first and foremost as souls on earth rather than the label we might assign in a judging way: the smart one, etc.
-Family models our core humanity.
-When we como from a place of love and acceptance, then suddenly other people are worthy, not weird.
-Express thanks for the gift of the day and the many ways those gifts present themselves.
-There was not disadvantage in mental health between those children who had been left behind and  those who lived with both parents. The love and support that the children needed to flourish was sufficient from any committed loving source.
-Cynical people have a higher likelihood of developing dementia: cynicism appears to be neuro-degenerative for the long term.
-We don't make our child spiritual at all. We cultivate  their spirituality when we recognize the field of love as ground and guide for spiritual parenting. We set our intention to make our home environment and communities, our actions and expectations, and our ways of interacting with one another to be consistent with spiritual values.
