Parenthood: 30 Things My Parents Did that Made All the Difference (Part 1)
5) My Mother Stayed Home: I was extremely fortunate to have a mother who chose and was able to stay at home and be a mom. I recognize, however, that many other families do not have this great privilege, for a variety of reasons (often uncontrollable life circumstances that force a mother to have to work).Now, my siblings and I certainly did not have all the latest toys, clothes, cars, or vacations growing up – but we each would collectively agree that having a mother in the home to be a mom was perhaps the greatest difference, influence, and blessing in our lives. 6) We Occasionally Went Without: As mentioned in the point above, my siblings and I often went without. We of course had everything we ‘needed,’ but we certainly were not given everything we ‘wanted.’ This was in part because of our financial situation. And yet, even when my father got into a position to be able to buy us children what we ‘wanted,’ thankfully, he still chose to occasionally allow us to go without. He did this of course not to deprive us, but to teach us to appreciate what we had, work for what we ‘wanted,’ and develop attributes such as sacrifice, patience, sharing, and unselfishness. Simply put – we were not spoiled in any sense of the word! 7) We Had to Work: Every day my siblings and I had a chore – anything from making our bed, to sweeping the floor, vacuuming, taking the garbage out, to doing dishes. Also, I remember every Saturday morning, our entire family would go out into the yard to do yard work together. Let’s be honest – what kid enjoys doing this stuff? But, as with everything, my siblings and I look back with gratitude that my parents taught us the importance of work.

Free Hypnosis Sessions - Why You Should Be WaryFree Hypnosis Sessions - Why You Should Be WaryAuthor: Gregory FrostHypnosis is when the mind is settled into an almost trance like state - induced by suggestive sentences, sometimes with the use of music, speech and even visual stimulation. Traditionally a hypnotist is present to induce the state of sleep in the person and the use of props like watches and pendulums are not uncommon at all. Self or auto hypnosis is also becoming fairly common these days but highly opposed because of the dangers of regression and the possible inability to come out of the spell on ones own. |
