Mary’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Green Ember (The Green Ember #1)

The Green Ember (The Green Ember #1) by S.D. Smith

6 highlights

All of life is a battle against fear. We fight it on one front, and it sneaks around to our flank.”

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

by Lauren James

“A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there.… And at the end of your life, your whole existence has that same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“Growing independence, though, doesn’t have to mean growing separation. Humans were created to be relational beings. We may outgrow our dependency, but we never outgrow the need for community, interaction, appreciation, reassurance, and support.”
― L.R. Knost, Two Thousand Kisses a Day: Gentle Parenting Through the Ages and Stages

“There is only one thing your baby really needs: you. There is only one thing to do: be fully present. The greatest gift you can give your child is yourself: your body, your acceptance, your responsiveness, your time, and your energy. Nothing could be simpler or more challenging, more vulnerable or more empowering. Nothing could be more freeing or health and life enhancing.”
― Ingrid Bauer, Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene
