Good News From Kristen!

Hey Monnie!!!

Since its Feel Good Friday, I wanted to pass along some good news - I got a part time job as a adjunct instructor! I'm making a little extra for the family on top of my current job and I'm teaching and getting the experience which is what I needed (I want to turn this into a second profession). I just wanted to pass along the fact that positive energy leads to positive action. I can't wait to start!!!

Prayer Request from BK!

Good morning Monica,

She is following her dream. Thanks so much!!

Law of Attraction

Do you believe if you're hurting...you'll attract other people who are hurting too?  Do you think that by checking yourself and being good to yourself you'll attract like minded people who will help keep you on track?

Scenario...

Your brother gets out of jail.

You're unable to take care of your child so you leave them with your mother to raise.

Your brother is taking  your child to school and decides your child needs a lesson in how life "really" is according to his way of living so he takes your child with him that day instead of to school.

You good?  Should you lose the right to make decisions for your child if the child doesn't live with you?

From My Inbox

Sorry guys...kinda busy. Here is one from the inbox that should be an awesome discussion:

I have a random question that I've been thinking about and wondered if you could ask the blog. I'm trying to work on my son's discipline and I'm trying to think of how parents instill disciplined patterns in their kids? Like doing chores everyday without being told, taking care of their things, etc. I was thinking about how people leave the military and are neat, timely, etc and I was thinking how can I instill those qualities in him now? Any ideas?

Bad News Blues

A friend got some bad news yesterday and shared it with me.

I was PISSED!

I listened but seriously...I was mad.

Then I told the friend, "I'm not going to tell you any old sappy, cliche' crap.  Hell...sometimes ish ain't fair and it should piss you off."

The friend was like..."I appreciate that."

What say you?  Do you like to hear the sappy cliche' crap or sometimes...do you just want to keep it extraordinarily real?
