Life From Our Eyes

The thought of being a parent is a HUGE responsibility! From the craziness of the modern world to the weight of being wholly depended upon by a child- so many decisions how can one decide? In today's talk, we contemplate all these questions and more as we dream about becoming parents one day.

What happens when the goal you have been working diligently towards gets halted unexpectedly? We'll be sharing some recent stories about how life plans don't go as we usually expect and how we have been navigating the currents.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

-Helen Keller

In today's episode, we decided I,(Jonathan) would speak solo. Laura and I thought it would be neat if I shared a little bit about what's on my heart for the new year. I share from my experience about setting New Year's goals and how sometimes less is more.

In this episode, we share a little bit of our experience being in the kitchen and how weird it is for Laura to cook meat being that she's a vegetarian.  As we concluded our conversation we took the opportunity to have Laura share a little bit about her childhood. 

This week's episode we focus on Jonathan driving and little people conventions. And in case you didn't know, October is Dwarfism Awareness Month.

Welcome back, we definitely missed recording and it's great to be back! Our topic for this week is what do you do when your significant other doesn't want to do everything the same as you? We talk about how we struggle with knowing what to do when we have our differences.  We haven't quite figured this one out, but we realize this is one of the great mysteries of marriage and are working things out and learning day by day. Stay tuned :)

Hi again,

In this week's podcast we talk about how the way we were raised has caused expectations in our relationship.  We touch base on love languages as well as being open to letting go of expectations and accepting differences.

Welcome! We are happy to have you join us for a reflection back on where our story began. We discuss the difficulties of dating, being vulnerable, and fun times down memory lane. 

Today's quote can be found in the book The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.  But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change.  It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

Thanks for joining us! In this week's episode we dive more into Jonathan's journey as it relates to school for a little person. He opens up about what was a struggle for him through school, education, and socializing with peers.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the autumn leaves." -John Muir
