As a man it is my wish to positively impact someone's life by certain words or a quote of wisdom that maybe I was known for saying often.  Something to impact a persons thoughts and inspires a healthy habit in their lives each time they think of it.  An example would be something my Uncle told me as I was preparing to go into the Army many years ago. He said: "In the windstorm do not be like a oak tree branch and crack....be like a blade of grass and bend! "  I have never forgot those words.  When life gets stressful we sometimes crack.  Instead... like the blade of grass.... let us bend and bounce back up even though its windy. I am challenging you all.  Kids & Parents to create or write down your favorite quote that you enjoy.  Please share your quote on as a comment on the blog!  Lets see what beautiful wisdom we can be blessed with!  Here is one I created about a year or two ago.  It helps me to work on myself daily and fo...

  One of the most critical things in life to learn is our own self identity…..  I have spent so much of life dealing with the some of the below truths!!!!  Some will learn to reflect on their lives and do something about it to grow.  Others…… will choose to protect themselves from positive growth due to fear.   I have spent way too much time of my life hiding here and there in pain of self esteem.  It is one of the hardest steps to let go and be honest with ourselves….  If we are being honest and are looking deeply at ourselves we will find that we do sometimes feel insecure, inadequate, sometimes unloved, sometimes afraid, sometimes unsure, sometimes trapped, sometimes incapable, sometimes not good enough and sometimes afraid to fail.  We have a tendency to hide our real emotions.  I challenge you today.,   It's time to be courageous and wear your heart on your sleeve. The more that you can acknowledge your shortcomings and work on the...
