True. I won't stand for that in my life, how about you?


Peace Out!

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
He a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.

What is your parenting style? Do you hover like a vulture, jutting out your talons at every wrong move?

Do you offer praise when you see your child do a kind act he thought nobody noticed? -Like share a small toy, try a new food without complaining, hold a door for his sister, wrestle with his little brother playfully while you made a casserole....

Pay attention as much to the positive as the negative.... Catch your children doing good. It's something I have to work on every. single. day.
:-)

Give yourself a report card every day. How did you do? If you're not sure, as your children and apologize when needed. Even adults need to admit their shortcomings. Children are forgiving souls and love with open arms. So should we....

Peace Out!

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world

I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy

I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy

Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...


"Legacy" -Nichole Nordemon

Pretty much how I've felt my entire life put into a song
