Dear Future Child, I started this series because I wanted a way to communicate to you through a platform that I’ve cultivated over the years and want you to someday be a part of. Until then, I want to prepare … Continue reading A Letter To My Future Child: Falling in Love, Heartbreak, and Anything in Between
Reflection: Nothing has changed about the will to improve my writing. I genuinely have always sought out ways to enhance my practice, and this post has inspired me to continue with the journal prompts, because we all need a little … Continue reading R&F: Journal Writing Prompt #151
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend my Saturday in the library, so I thought I’d make a video to represent my blog from last week, “Library Love”. Be sure to follow this blog on YouTube for video updates (and outtakes) to brighten your day. Always, Madeleine Rheinheimer Continue reading Library Love // YouTube
Dear Future Child, I wanted to teach you a lesson about grandparents. A lesson that will make you run into their arms every time you don’t get your way (or when I refuse your dictator requests for more popsicles, like I did often to my mother). Because believe it or not, grandparents can be your closest ally, after your father and I of course. You wouldn’t believe that amount of support you already have, my dear child. Between your parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents you are immensely loved and treasured. You will be our greatest joy, and greatest worry. … Continue reading Grandparents: A Letter to My Future Child
Dear Future Child, What I’m about to share is something I struggle with, but I’m not alone. I’m going to do everything I can to teach you how to overcome this problem, so you don’t have the same struggles that Mom does. Dad will be happy I’m sharing this with you. Money isn’t everything, even though it often seems like it is. Money buys nice cars, diamond earrings, new dresses, sparkly shoes, healthy food, restaurant food, big houses, and fun trips. It buys important things like education, good health, and professional help when you can’t do something on your own. … Continue reading A Letter To My Future Child: Five Things Money Can’t Buy
Let me begin by informing you of the randomness of this post idea. My birthday is in November (Scorpio season is the best season), so this isn’t some upcoming occasion that I had on my mind. And yet, I’m always thinking about birthdays- not just mine, but my family and friends’ too. I have every birthday in my planner, and enough postage to send homemade or funny store-bought cards (usually of puppies or old women) to my loved ones. Today, I was reminded of this birthday appreciation because I heard someone say, “Valentine’s Day is my second favorite holiday, after … Continue reading Birthday Joy
Dear Future Child, I hope you know how much you deserve. You deserve to feel happiness, feel peace, feel love, and most of all, you deserve to feel safe. Maybe safety is a combination of all of these feelings. I want you to experience safety the most of all, because if you feel safe, you have a clear mind to manifest joy. If you feel safe, you don’t have to worry about fear. If you feel safe, you’ll be open to giving and receiving love. However, reaching this so-called paradise of safety isn’t always easy, and I’m writing this to … Continue reading Safety: A Letter to My Future Child
If the title didn’t make you roll your eyes in disgust and you kept reading, I would like to say thank you. If the title made you gag and laugh out loud and yet you still kept reading, I am … Continue reading I’m Dating My Best Friend
I couldn’t resist showing you those so-called puppy dog eyes. Enjoy. Always, Madeleine Rheinheimer Continue reading Furry Therapy // Link to YouTube
I have been spending the last few weeks sleeping in my childhood bed, organizing, baking (oh how I missed an oven and a stove), catching up with old friends, reorganizing everything again, and reading so much I forget what time it is. It’s good to be home. Another thing about coming home, besides the automatic cleanliness and good food, is that I get to see my dogs again. I wouldn’t want to keep all their joy and shedding to myself, so I figured that finally, I am going to introduce my dogs to the Internet. The first thing you should … Continue reading Furry Therapy
