Self-doubt. We are ourselves and it isn’t enough. In fact, it is too much for some people. THEY decide that we are too much and it feels like rejection, leading to what? Self-doubt, questionning who we are and what we are doing .

I won a million dollars! Ok, ok, you are right, I didn’t win a million dollars, but how many times in our lives do we doubt winning other opportunities in our lives and limit ourselves? I won’t get that job. I am not smart enough. I am not good at sports. I am not pretty enough. I am ugly. I can’t do that. I will never get married. I will never have money. Sound familiar? We all have limiting beliefs, and those beliefs stop us fr

We are a spark of the Divine and we forget that much of the time.  We have the power and wisdom of the Divine and the Universe inside of us, if we seek it and believe it.

I grew up on welfare in government subsidized housing in an abusive and violent home environment by a parent who had a mental illness. As a result, I struggled with my self-esteem. I was told I was worthless, and I believed that lie, but once I attended university and did very well in my classes, and loved learning, I realized that I did have something to offer the world.

Children and teenagers, at times, seem to be very different than us. Is your child or teenager from another world? Maybe an alien? (I have nothing against aliens, in case you were wondering). Maybe or maybe not, but they respond differently and think differently than we do in certain situations. To help children learn, grow, and heal, making a connection with them is of upmost importance. How do we do that if we don't understand them at times?

You can overcome obstacles. Even with obstacles and challenges, you can persevere. I grew up on welfare and we did not have many books in our home. In my family, we were not read to by our parents, who may not have understood the importance of reading to children. Along with other factors, this may have led to me being behind in school and attending a special education class for speech assistance.

For children who are sensitive, school can be a nightmare. All the noises, discussions, arguments, and playing can be overwhelming. Even required to talk all day can be too much for your child. Highly sensitive, quiet, and gentle souls, often introverted, find it hard to cope in such an environment. Hearing other children arguing or being bullied can drain a highly sensitive personality. Your child may come home from school not wishing to talk and wanting to be alone to r
