Parents talking about The Big Questions

I’d like to invite you to join a discussion that links in to my new book, Parenting with Soul.

What’s it all about? Parenting with Soul is for parents with no time to be spiritual. Is it possible to find a deeper meaning to life at the bottom of the laundry basket?

Parenting with Soul won’t tell you what to believe, but it will show you how to make spirituality part of your family’s life. It is for parents of every spiritual style and flavour – whether your spirituality is active or dormant, set in concrete or a work in progress. And it is short and easy to flick through, so even the most time-poor parent can dip in and get something from it.

I’ve set up a Facebook page called Parenting with Soul (no surprises there).  Over the next three months, I’ll be posting discussion topics. I’d love it if you could stop by and offer your thoughts. There’s also a survey you can take, if you want to hit all the big questions in one fell swoop.

The sorts of things we’ll be discussing include:

• how do you answer your children’s Big Questions about life and death and God?
• the God of small things – how to find joy at the bottom of the laundry basket
• the cult of busyness – when there’s so much to do, how do you slow down?
• dealing with the devilish challenge of mother guilt

I think there needs to be a place where parents can meet up and talk about the deeper things in life, and how to fit a bit of soul into a busy parent’s day. I’m hoping that the Parenting with Soul Facebook page will become a ‘meeting place’ for people who want to make meditation, celebration and joy a daily part of their lives – so long as they can fit it in between the school run and the grocery shopping. The plan is that we will all benefit from the discussion. And if there are posts that I’d like to quote in my book, I’ll get in touch directly to ask if I can quote you.

Look forward to seeing you at Parenting With Soul on Facebook. Just go to Facebook and type in ‘parenting with soul’. If you’re not into Facebook, you can also join in the discussion here on my blog.
