The last post was about words, this one is about looks. It's interesting how much you can communicate just by giving someone direct eye contact.
In the teaching world it's a huge thing to look a child in the eye on their level to show that you are listening and that you care. I think that's important for parenting as well. On a personal level I think we all want at some point for someone to purposefully look us in the eye and ask how we are doing. I know that I do. Sometimes it feels like I am never standing still long enough to think about it- so when someone intentionally pulls me in for a hug and says "how are you??" it really means a lot to me. I am lucky that I can say there are more people in my life at this point this year than the last. All in all I think I've made myself a little niche in Kansas City. It's pretty eclectic and a little bit unconventional... but it suits me just fine.
