Going to go subscribe. Amazing. I think that lots of these moments are lost in today’s time because both parents have to work, leaving them tired and frustrated at the end of the day. You just want to get the chore done…..not thinking about the moments you can share with your family. Thanks for bringing this to us, Becky, as usual, I cried, but good, happy tears, motivating tears.

Just finished subscribing. Can hardly wait for my first issue to come. This is how I’ve tried to live my life and raise my children. Just moved and need to be freshly reminded to slow down and not miss the simple everyday things taking place. I have stopped taking many pictures for the last four months while this move is going on and need to get back to documenting my life. Thanks for posting this video.

There is a list of bookstores on their website under the purchase tab. Hopefully, one is near you.

Thanks for sharing that video. I loved what they said about process vs. completed tasks. Of course we want dinner on the table … but isn’t it more meaningful when I let my two-year-old daughter scoot a kitchen chair to the counter to “help?”

It’s hard to slow down and let these moments happen. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Becky-
Just a quick note…my husband is a long haul driver and more often than not he misses the everyday happenings of our life. Your wonderful creation (Project Life) has allowed him to be a part of “home” even when he is away. He sends me pictures of what he sees on the road, shares the many stories he hears from his driving students and supports us in all we do to hold the home front down. When he gets home, our project life album is on his desk waiting for him. I give him time to quietly enjoy the pictures and journaling and he always comments how connected he feels because I included him and his many travels in my weekly pages. Thank you for listening to the master when he called you to this task. Thank you for caring beyond your front door!

PS The video was lovely…I cried too.

What a lovely video. It reminded me of something you said in Project Real Life this week or last – about the purpose being to strengthen the relationship – I can’t remember the exact wording you used, but the idea was the same as what was said here – that the relationship comes before the task. It made me think about how and why we celebrate the holidays, get together with family, etc. I’m going to go back to PRL and look at that idea again! Thanks.

Once again, Becky, you have inspired me to be a better person….to look outside myself and pay attention to others. I am newly retired and have found I am taking more time to listen to others, pay attention to things around me, etc. but wish I had slowed down when my only child was a child. However, I believe it’s never too late to change…I want to be the best grandmother, the best friend, the best mother, the best daughter, the best wife…(the best that I can possibly be).
I can’t wait to see the changes in my everyday!

It is not many things that will bring a tear to my eye. But watching that video and seeing in print – less computer time more people time really hit me hard. Must be a wonderful magazine and one I must subscribe to.

Just watched the video, which brought a tear to my eye! What an affirming publication. The video really spoke to our situation as a Navy family working through a looong deployment. Thanks for sharing.

It looks like a great publication but I wanted to look at it first before subscribing. Can you suggest to them that they sell it at the bookstore? I asked for it but they do not carry it there. Would appreciate it. Thanks!
