The Challenges of Parenthood

Parenting...now that is a heavy topic.

I thought I would tackle this tonight because I have been having some interesting conversations with my kids. My 4 kids are all different. Actually, all the people in our family are different.

This can be a challenge. What works for one person might not work for another. I try my best to work with my kids and to be honest. One of my pet peeves is lying or being sneaky. If we can all talk openly I'm happy. But then at times, our conversations are not so happy. Sometimes they are dark which honestly bothers me.

When a teenager that is close to your family dies in a tragic car accident, it opens up a lot of conversations you wish you didn't have to have. It is a teaching moment. I have to explain things on different levels based on the child. I also have to get into those areas of discussion that are uncomfortable for most parents.

I constantly talk about drinking and drugs and hanging out with people that might not be good for your kids. Of course, we all hope and pray that our kids will be different. Well, as I am learning...kids are kids.  We must let them make some of their own mistakes and pray they aren't the big ones.

I must say that I'm trying my best to stay in the light and to keep things positive. I am realizing I can only talk so much and hope they are listening.  I go back to my room and think about our conversations and just hope and pray that things will work out. Things always work out.

There is a reason for everything and I must accept this. If I keep myself on that positive path, then things with my kids will stay positive too. The law of vibration is at work. My lesson for tonight is to let go of the worry and know that my kids are protected and that they are on their life's path.

Boy have I learned a lot from my kids. I keep adding more and more to my book which I hope to publish by the end of the year. It's Kids Soul Desire - Inspiring the desires within your child.

Have a great night!

Helping a Relationship Thrive

It's almost October already. Boy, how time flies. I have been reading a lot of great articles lately. One in particular that struck me as interesting was the Epic Formula for a Happy Relationship by Christie Marie Sheldon.

Christie is an awesome intuitive energy healer who helps people unblock themselves so they can grow with love and abundance. Now back to her article...

1. She says you should tell your partner I love you every day. I must say this is a wonderful idea, however; some of us are more into the physical than verbal. I say do what you feel is right for you.

2. Accept your partner "as is". To me, this means do not try to change him/her. We are who we are and as long as we know this, all is well.

3. It doesn't matter who wins a fight. No one has to be right. Agree to disagree if you must.

4.  Spend time with each other. I know this is very important. I have been married for over 20 years and realized that even though we have 4 kids, we must do things on our own. We are friends first before mom and dad.

5.  You must trust each other. If you don't, you need to work through your issues and move on.

6.  Best friends forever is key!!

7.  Have fun! Be silly!

8. Meet your partner's needs. If they are touchy feely, hug them, hold their hand.

9.  Keep the intimacy alive, however it works for you!

10.  Always look for the good in your partner.

11. Don't expect things.

12.  Communication is key!! I know this from experience. If you need something, say it!!

13. Share everything.

14. Respect is also important, hence; agree to disagree when needed. We are all different.

15.  Laugh!! Have a sense of humor. Don't sweat the small stuff!!

Life is too short to be unhappy. Be with someone you enjoy and have fun with!!

Take care,

What an Awesome Day!! Happy Fall!!

What a beautiful start to an awesome Fall. We have such wonderful weather!
I love sitting outside on my deck breathing in the warm fall air. It helps calm me.

This past weekend I learned that my daughter's personality is in 4-5% of the population. That is a very small group of people. I always knew she was different. We tend to clash a lot. She is a dreamer and is very disorganized. I'm learning that that is just who she is. I am trying to work on myself to better understand her.

I decided to take the personality test too. Can you believe that my personality is even rarer than hers!! I'm in 3-4% of the population. I'm an inspirer can you believe it :) Actually, that is what I have done my entire life. I'm always helping others and encouraging them to be whatever they want. My goal now is to help the kids out there know that it is ok to be who you were meant to be.  We all have gifts to share with the world.

Since I was so excited about this personality test, I had others in my family take it. My oldest son has wanted to be a dentist since 1st grade and sure enough his test came up the scientist. Dentist is on the list of professions for his personality. I also found out that my other kids and husband are all different. We are a group of individuals who were put here to work together!!

So the lesson for today is that we are all here for a reason and we are here to teach each other about love and compassion!! I'm so glad I took this test so that I could understand my family better!!

Take care...

Time to Celebrate

Improving your body, mind and soul begins with a positive attitude!
First, we need to be grateful for all we have.
Second, we need to accept ourselves just as we are.
Third, love one another!

If we can do those things, we can improve our overall well being!
Have a wonderful Sunday!!
