This was my 5 yr old daughter’s favourtie song and movie for years. Lost count of the number of times we watched it – I tried to limit it to once a day.

Thanks for sharing your on-going journey. I think we all continually reinvent ourselves according to what is currently working and not working in our lives. If someone had told me even 10 years ago I’d write a book about Kids Yoga I would have laughed at them.

Thanks for reminding me to live in the moment and enjoy it for what it is. Being present brings such peace and contentment, allowing you to savour life instead of rushing through to the next concern. Breath, relax, and be.

What a heartfelt, beautiful article. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your poignant journey, familiar to many of us working moms. I absolutely love that song – in fact, it’s my favorite Disney song. Several years ago, my family visited the Animal Kingdom in Orlando and saw a live performance of The Lion King, with all the characters, etc. Jack was in his most trying stage of sensory integration disorder and was completely overwhelmed with the loudness of the presentation. ANd then Hakuna Matata came on. He recognized the song and immediately settled down. As I rocked him, holding him tightly on my lap (Which was soothing for him), I remember truly processing the words and having some of the same thoughts as you – what a great motto for life.

Interesting – I was just listening to the Lion King music – the “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” song was just playing.

I’ve got to hand it to Disney, the whole business is about keeping imagination alive and worry at bay (and making money doing it). Walt Disney had a number of failed business attempts and even went bankrupt in his early years. But he didn’t give up. I often think of him when I worry about my business. He’s an inspiring success story, not to mention he’s behind some of my favorite movies.
