Is Parenting a Calling?
If I do not address disrespectful behaviors while our children are young, then I enable them to disrespect myself and others. The moment we let down our guard is the moment our child will think it is okay. I have learned to not assume that behavior will end in one day. I must be consistent in my actions and words to show them actions that edifies and destroys.
Parenting is a calling, and daily, we need to be there for our children. Corrupt behaviors do not start in adulthood. Often, we deal with adult behaviors that started in childhood. No parent is exempt, and every parent has tests. These tests are to make us a better person, and therefore, a better parent. We must have and show:
compassion (children need direction and purpose grounded in principles that help instead of hurting others)
humility (every one has tests to meet and hopefully transcend)
love (discipline according to our heart and not out of unhealed emotions)
patience (parenting is a lifelong endeavor)
understanding (we are all on a journey and experience life lessons).
Of course, there are more virtues that empower and strengthen us to meet and transcend our experiences.
Make this Life great and your Legacy, too! The generations to come depend on you.
Sincerely,

Choices
Sometimes, we may think our parents are being mean when they tell us the truth. Our mom, a single mom, knew the extent of her teaching. She did not force her life’s principles on us; she left it to us, many times, to choose the best route or solution for an issue.
I inform our children that I cannot make all of your life choices. “I can help you build your foundation and give you the resources and some tools to help you along the way.”
I let our children know that I am here for them, and I do not mind sharing my knowledge and wisdom. For the age appropriate situations, though, I encourage our children to weight their options, assess advantages and disadvantages, and be decisive.
We must help our children to assess the reasons behind their choices. By helping our children to understand their core and their state of emotions and feelings, we can help empower them to be their best. I did not write to push them….but to help them from the inside out.
If we do not help our children to see the power in choices and the possible consequences, who will?
How are you helping your children learn the power of choices?
Make this life great!

What is in your cup?
Hello everyone! I hope you had a fantastic week. See below resource I am sharing with you. Let’s get away from bottled store-bought drinks and make our own fruit smoothies and juices. There are so many great (and cheap or frugal) resources out there to help you create and sustain a healthy life. Our life is worth the fight.I look forward to sharing some more information and ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables to help promote and sustain liver health in our Healthy Challenges Facebook group.
Please share your pictures of meals you eat throughout the week. Research shows that we tend to do better when we hold each other accountable.
This book, 100 Best smoothies and Juices, is worth every cent and is listed on my website as one of my recommendations.
It is time to live your best life. Take care of yourself. There is only one you, and you are worth every penny.
To Your Best Health & Life!
