A mother

Be a refection of what you'd want to see in others.

Nothing is nicer than.........

I am a parent

To my children

“I don’t want my children to follow in my footsteps. 

I want them to take the path next to me and go farther than I ever dreamt possible.”

You must never forget who was there for you when nobody else was.

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

Independence is all about gaining self-reliance and responsibility. When we give our children more responsibility, we should also add more rights to go along with it so they learn that both are part of growing up and can be proud that it's happening. Any time we give our children more rights, we should also add more responsibility to balance everything out. It will help them from becoming self-centered. A good time to add these might be birthdays or other events that acknowledge their increasing maturity. This way, responsibilities are not resented, but accepted with pride as signs of growing up. Getting started doing this is fairly easy. Make a list of tasks you think they can be responsible for. Feeding the dog, doing the dishes, or whatever you think is appropriate for their age. Balance these new responsibilities with new rights. A later bedtime, more allowance, whatever you think is fair. Then step back and give them the opportunity to accomplish their task. Don't make approval conditional on success especially early on. The old college try is often a great teacher. Don't hover over them while they are doing it. Leave them to their task as a sign of trust. Don't have too high expectations. And finally, let go! Gradually step back and allow them to increase their independence.

It is vital that when educating our children's brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts.

Children are the living messages to a time we will not see. We cannot afford to fail them.A recent quote by the Dalai Lama read, “My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call education of the heart. Just as we take for granted the need to acquire proficiency in the basic academic subjects, I am hopeful that a time will come when we can take it for granted that children will learn, as part of the curriculum, the indispensability of inner values: love, compassion, justice, and forgiveness.”The time is here.  The time is now.

Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.”

To Some we don't matter. To others, we are the world.

Don’t give up on the people you love. Your patience and faithfulness may be exactly what they need to make a complete turnaround.

May GOD richly bless you, especially today. May you know His awesome love in a more meaningful way. May you take a moment in the busyness of life. And may GOD's warmth never depart for all year round and the years ahead.

You get hurt only by people who occupy a big part of your heart. The more it hurts, the more important the person is.

Love the people God gave you, because He will need them back one day.

Life is like a party. You invite a lot of people; some go, some join you, some laugh with you, some didn’t come. But in the end, after the fun, there would be a few who would clean up the mess with you. And most of the time, those were the uninvited ones.

Make sure the important people in your life know how important they are before it’s too late.

Love is grand; divorce is a hundred grand.

I love being married. It’s so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

My promise to my Kids: I am not your friend. I am your Mother. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare & hunt you down like a bloodhound when needed because I LOVE YOU! When you understand that, I will know you are a responsible adult. You will never find someone who loves, prays, cares and worries about you more than I do!

Being a single mom is twice the work, twice the stress and twice the tears but also twice the hugs, twice the love and twice the pride.
