Honey Vanilla Chamomile Tea

I recently bought a box of "Honey Vanilla Chamomile" tea, the Celestial Seasonings brand. When we went to C and R's house for dinner and "Scrabble" last month, that was one of the tea choices after dinner. Very mild, delicious tea, so I bought a box for here. What I didn't realize about the Celestial Seasonings boxes was the interesting things they print on the back of their boxes. I just noticed today that the following is on my box of Honey Vanilla Chamomile:

"If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again...
I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.
I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less, and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love."

The author of the above is Diane Loomans, from "Full Esteem Ahead," which I am assuming is the title of her book.
