The Mindful Parent 
The Mindful Parent is an organization devoted to sharing with parents and other child caregivers ways in which to enhance the many joys of parenting.  By mindfully attending to our children, both when we are physically present with them and when we are physically separated from them, we can enhance our sense of connection to them and, in turn, our connection to the cosmos.  This makes us a better parent, a happier person, and a more vital human being.
 
To facilitate a more mindful approach to parenting, The Mindful Parent publishes on its website, and in its bi-weekly newsletter, mindful parenting verses and commentaries.  The Mindful Parent website also serves as a community forum that encourages and supports a mindful parenting dialogue and the sharing of mindful parenting experiences.
 
In the spirit of developing a mindful parenting community, we encourage you to submit a mindful parenting experience through verse, commentary, and imagery to share with others.  We believe that through our collective experience, we can help each other develop a deeper and more meaningful mindful parenting practice. Click here to learn more about making a submssion.  We thank everyone who has contributed or is considering making this very compassionate contribution.

The Daily Sip: Signing Your Name
Redux With Verse
 
Earlier this week, The Morning Cup column introduced the practice of mindful parenting to those occasions when we sign our name.  That column seemed to resonate with many.  You can click here to read the column
 
One reader submitted a delightful verse to accompany the text.  The verse appears below.
 
          As I sign my name
          Letters take on a new meaning
          As my child learns to do the same
 
Readers are always encouraged to submit a verse, either to accompany a Morning Cup column or for any circumstance that resonates with them.  Thank you A. Wainer in Miami for your wonderful submission.
 
There will be no new column tomorrow, Friday October 22, 2004.  The Morning Cup Archives now contain over a hundred columns and verses. 
You may like to randomly select a past column you may have missed or to refresh yourself with one that may have proved meaningful.  Below are links to the archives for the months of October, SeptemberAugust, July,June, May, and April.  
 
Have a wonderful and mindful rest of the week.
