I’m glad we sat down and had this valuable conversation.. this one's for the books!
In parenting, always expected the unexpected! This relationship between us as mothers and our sons is "special" and a crucial one as raise boys into men of this century.
Past, Present, and Future.. which one do you focus on most as you move through decisions, aspirations, challenges, failures and success of your life? Here's our personal take!
As mothers, aunts, grandmothers, concerned-aunties, friendly advisers... we are all guilty of saying of some things to the young women in our lives, that we reflect on now and cringe within ourselves! That verbal, physical, mental *ish cuts deeper than we think. It shapes lives that become full of unrecognizable pain and damaging self-worth. Let's reflect!

'When/how did I deal with judgement towards me?'.
Let's explore that! Shall we?

How much of your success in fitness and diet had to do with mental work before the muscle work?
Deep friendships and close bonds with friends are a blessing and some are gems that take a lot of emotional hard work and commitment to up keep, especially friendships where the friends have very little in common. These friendships have only a soul connection in common.
