A Manifesto to read

For the last five years, I have been actively involved with developing my line of children’s clothing.  While creating Whitty’s Wears from the ground up, I always loved my little creatures featured on the shirts but always felt something was missing.  Having worked for LovethisLife Adult, I had read so many times the lines of the adult manifesto.  Lines that challenged readers to celebrate the moment and to celebrate you and your path.   It was my gut instinct that the kid’s line needed the same inspiration and call to uniqueness.

After much thought and care, David Culiner, the man behind LovethisLife and its amazing manifesto, penned the manifesto below…

lovethislife Kid…

is about celebrating our moments

and how I rock to a rhythm all my own

and I just may teach you more than you teach me

and like you…I’m a miracle

 lovethislife Kid…

is honoring that my dreams

aren’t obligated to fulfill yours

and since I had no say in being here

you’ll provide a safe space

where I can innocently unfold

even if I take up the drums

 lovethislife Kid…

is the inevitable embrace

that all we are is Love

so unconditionally love me

while I imperfectly become Me

without promising you the same

when I hit my teens

 lovethislife Kid…

as we grow together and apart

let’s rock.

For me this hits home, especially in those moments when I worry that my little free spirits are going to be judged for being different or when I find myself imposing my own ideas into their life.  I would love to hear if  it speaks to you or your thoughts on it.  Visit our facebook page and sign the manifesto in honor of your own angels or on behalf of children everywhere.  If we all let a child’s true grace be loved and embraced, that child and the world will only be better.
