The gift of a beautiful child in our life is a precious blessing in our life. Our care is of utmost importance in their lives. We have gotten away from the fundamentals of nurturing a child. Life today has been a world of distractions. Between the technology, the hurried lifestyle, the overwhelming choices, the need to raise super children, we have all gotten away from the pure, simple basics of child rearing.

Raising children is one of the hardest jobs in the world. The world knows it is challenging and often demoralizes the role in our culture. Motherhood is a noble profession. It requires a great deal of inner strength, multitasking, flexibility and resourcefulness. The hours are very long, the demands are overwhelming and the results are utterly transforming. We lose our sense of self in the work and find a greater purpose in our own life.Broader worlds open up to us and we learn to interact in new worlds that affect our children. In this great journey , we learn the cycles of human life and our impact on our children’s lives. It is a journey of a lifetime, so lets do our absolute best to raise our children well. We affect society and the future of mankind in our work. How very important our job is to society. Don’t accept any ridicule and commentary. Stand up to the value of this all encompassing mission in life. Motherhood is truly the ultimate sacred mission in life.

Raise your children with great love. You are the first person in their life to give them pure love. Let them understand the comfort and grace of love. Teach them righteousness.It is so very important that our children know right from wrong. They must develops a moral compass within themselves.Raise them with faith and love. Teach them about God and their need to pray in life. Let them see that the moral law is the ultimate answer in life.

Teach them to become law abiding citizens and learn to respect one another. In order to build a better society, we must value the world we live in. It is important that we care about one another; that children know the value about being part of the village. We can only survive by recognizing our need to unite. As mothers, we are responsible for shaping perspectives and attitude. Educate your children to see all sides of a situation. Help them to make good judgements.

Teach them tolerance and positive thinking so that they can live their lives in hope and possibility. Teach them social skills and explore their inner feelings. Often, they need to talk about situations that affect them with friends and school. Have an open ear!

The best conversations are the one’s that happen casually. You may be cutting vegetables in the kitchen, driving them to an activity or relaxing while watching TV. When the moment your child opens up , pay attention. It only comes once and our kids need our ear and guidance. Listen and advise!

But most of all, practice individualized parenting. Each child is unique and needs that one to one attention. Take the opportunity to enjoy their company by spending the day with them while you build a bond that lasts a lifetime. Not only will you clearly understand them well; your child may feel that they can confide in you even more because of this heartfelt relationship. Plant seeds of knowledge and wisdom in these golden moments.You are helping to shape a strong, independent, confident, loving individual.

The amazing journey of motherhood opens up like a rose along a trellis. As each petal fold opens gently, our inner soul magnifies love and we grow in spirit with our child.Two souls linked in the precious beauty of love. This sacred journey of togetherness can only be experience ONCE in your child’s life. Let’s leave a lasting imprint that rises with the sun!

There are many single mom’s raising children on their own today. They work hard and dedicate themselves to their families. I applaud their efforts to give the best home for their dear children.

Recently, I met a mother with a nine year old son who has inspired me with her love.

She works as a waitress nights and weekends and devotes her time to her son and home.
She tries to be everywhere for him. She gets him ready in the morning for school, meets him at the bus, helps him with school work and sets up his dinner as she prepares for her night job. She dresses for her job, has a sitter watch her son and prepares for a long night of waiting tables until 11p.m.She gets home with little time for herself, goes to sleep for the night and begins the same routine the next day. She never complains. She is so happy to have work and her beautiful son in her life.

When I met her son, he was so well behaved and talk about how lucky he was to have his mother. He drew me a picture of her. She had lines around her head. When I asked her what that meant , she said his mom is like an angel, with a halo around her head.

Such a beautiful love story of mother and son. I thought that they may not have a lot of things in their life but they have what matters, a great love and devotion for each other.
They have the greatest abundance of joy in their lives.

I am sure there are many single mom’s with the same story. I applaud their devotion and love for family.

The recent events that have tragically wounded Orlando, Florida are shocking.The hatred towards American’s. The pure lack of humanity leads me to ask so many questions. How does a man’s heart turn to stone? How does one reach a dark place where human life does not matter? He must have been an innocent child once! How can one turn so evil over a lifetime ? Yet, he did the unthinkable, shooting 50 beautiful human beings in a most callous and evil way.

As a mother who lives in a family of love, I cannot comprehend such an evil deed.
Mothers,fathers and family members it is more important than ever to promote love as the antidote to such darkness. Let us work very hard to teach our children that love is indeed the answer to a more compassionate world.

Our influence on our family to respect and care for one another is the greatest contribution we can make to our society.

Let us teach tolerance to our children. Let us begin with great respect for family members and all cultures. The horror that we are witnessing on TV is our call to action.

Yes, we can turn the tide by raising children who are loving and empathetic to others. We must not tolerate what we see on TV. We must look around us and speak to authorities if we see something that is dangerous in our day to day world.

See something, say something must be our mantra.

As busy as all families are today, we must make time and plant the seeds of kindness into our child’s life. We have a moral obligation to raise our children with goodness.
All good must begin at home. That is why a parent has a huge responsibility when raising a family. Get back to the simple code of moral conduct. Our world is grasping for
this light. We have a great influence on our children.

Let us use our power to bring tolerance, kindness and love back into our world!!!

The time is now!!!!

We are a culture of gadgets. Technology is a huge influence in our children’s lives.These tools are very helpful in our lives, but they should have limits.

Often, our kids are going to bed with their tablets and phones; not unplugging from the outside world.They need boundaries regarding their usage. Doctors today suggest that the blue light emitting from devices affects our ability to go to sleep. Kids need to understand that a structured bedtime routine is necessary for health and well being.

Turn off the technology and read a book at night. Develop a nice relaxing bedtime ritual that will ease our children into a pleasant nights rest. They will perform better in school and will have more energy to thrive in an ever changing world.
