Raising Self-Empowered Thinking Children

(Rachel, Josh, Tony, and Sarah; holiday get-together, Rachel helping Tony get ready for Halloween, 
Family gathering during summer, Tony's birthday)


While raising our kids with the mindset of conscious parenting we purposely chose to teach them in a manner of thinking which enabled them to be self-empowered in their own thinking.  As we were fully aware we were raising adults and they would not be children forever. Everyday choices are a part of our society and soon would be theirs. As we guided them through their childhood and through their teenage years we were always focused on enhancing their already awakened intuitive skills.

We have the opportunity to create our children with every word that we use to describe them. Many times the words that we use to describe our children are the same words that we secretly use to describe ourselves. These words leak out when we are feeling frustrated. It is helpful to notice when your emotions are getting raw, admit your frustration and choose to identify the situation in a new way. 

When you can't catch yourself, have compassion for yourself! We all do the best that we can in any given moment.  ~ Suzy Miller

Brenda Novak's Annual Online Auction for Diabetes Research-Auction Open Now!



New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Novak specializes in happy endings, and she’s hoping to help provide a happy ending for the 350 million people worldwide that suffer from diabetes. She says, “Ten years ago, when my youngest son was diagnosed with Type 1, I wanted to do some fundraising for research, to help him and everyone else in the same situation. I just didn’t know how to go about it—or where I’d find the time. I had five kids at home and some very tight book deadlines. Then I attended a silent auction at a local elementary school and realized that I could do a similar event on my website, where I could invite the people who visit me on the web to join in my efforts.”
