Sometimes your heart opens when you least expect it…

A very first for me. I was impatient, annoyed, crazy and losing it because this woman at a dangerous intersection wasn't going forward when I felt the coast was clear. I was behind her. Horrifying my poor son (because I was acting totally nuts and he was trying to tell me to chill) I beeped …

For the New Year, create something new!!

For this New Year, think about the kind of life you want. Is it a healthy relationship, a working car, fulfilling work, a home to call your own, financial abundance, peace, love and joy?

Empathy

Do you ever go home upset about something and your spouse tries to tell you what to do? His/her intent is to make you feel better but inside you want to scream. This is how children feel when they are not given true empathy and validation. Here is an example: “you really wanted that ice …

Stop saying “good job”

Have you ever given a child a complement and they disagreed with the complement you gave them? The child didn’t believe you. Now try saying to them “when the dog cried you saw if he was ok – that is caring." "When your sister needed a Band-Aid you got one for her. That is helpful …
