Tough Love

Sometimes we think our children need to be coddled, nursed, or even protected when they don't . As parents we must understand that parenting is not all about keeping our children happy. So when we don't face issues head on that we have with our children, those same issues can grow into life challenges for them. Tough love...not abuse...lol, is very important and is a needed discipline that helps to correct behavior issues and allow our children to become independent people. So sugar coating and making excuses for why our children do things that they should not, facilitates the problem and helps it to persist longer. We don't have to do everything for our children!!! Let them develop their own strengths and weaknesses, not ones that we create by doing everything for them. Stop that cycle now, before its too late! And you have reached the level of stress that brings you to your knees.. !! Seriously, love lots p...

Failure to Launch

When is it time to break away from the protective arms of our parents into this cruel and defiant world? Is there a time frame or is it different for everyone? Guess what, your opportunity depends on how soon you jump in or....out lol!! We often wonder why animals push or in some instances leave their young. Its simple, experience is the best teacher ! You have to get out there and break away in order to develop your own sense of life and living. So the longer you let your parents lead your life the harder it will be for you to  gain REAL control of your life!!  Trust me,  experience  has taught me this very important life lesson!!! Don't get me wrong here, parents are always good teachers but experience always has a result that we can learn first hand from; this allows us to become our OWN person!  Its like a seed:  you plant it, tend to and nurture it but when the time is right you ...

Experience Grace today....!!

People often complain about what they don't have and what is not enough, not realizing that the simplest things can be compromised and cripple us for life..... What have you taken advantage of today, what could have been worse but turned out "Well Enough" ! Be thankful. ...recognize Gods Grace upon Your life Today!!!  Love Lots, Dee
