Growing an Elephant

My hubby, Lord Vader, and I were having a discussion about work and the role it plays in our lives. We both agree that we should carry our values into the work place, so that the work we do reflects who we are and can also function to impart lessons and even be an expression of our love for those we hold close to our hearts. This means it is inadequate to work merely for financial sustenance.

He asked, "What do I want my son to learn while he's growing up?". This simple question is the impetus for me to decide how and what I want my life to be like because it now has bearing on a growing child. My relationship with Lord Vader, the work I do, how I work and how I treat others will affect how baby elephant perceives the world. This doesn't mean we are going all out to present a perfect picture of ourselves to baby elephant. He also has to realise that we are individuals with eccentricities and I think it would benefit him to see how we struggle at times to come to certain decisions. With this, I begin documenting our growth. As individuals, as a family, as elephants.
