*** Quotes of the Week ***
------------------------------------------------------------ Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. Everyone must be challenged. A day dawns, quite like other days; in it a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. - Maltbie Davenport Babcock, 1858-1901 A man who dares waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life. - Charles Darwin, 1809-1882 Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make is what the people call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought. - Alexander Hamilton, 1755-1804 ------------------------------------------------------------
*** Article: The 5 Myths of Extreme Self Care or What Kind of Excuses can I Come up with Today? - By Lori Smith ***
------------------------------------------------------------ Eight years ago I was a control freak perfectionist workaholic! I worked 16 hour days, every day. One day, I found myself siting in my car in the parkade and crying. I was tired, sooo tired! I decided that I needed to take care of me! It wasn't easy and it took time, but today I can say that my life has changed 180 degrees. I make decision everyday that lead me further down the path of self love and self care. Often people comment on my life and ask how I did it... but many immediately become defensive and start to list off excuses for why they can't make these changes in their life.... do you find yourself feeling the same way? Myth: This makes me feel too selfish!

*** The 3 Most Catastrophic Mistakes Parents Make and How to Avoid Them - By Sandra Dye ***
------------------------------------------------------------ In all the years I have been working with children and parents, I am amazed at just how many parents believe they can tell their children what to do and their children should just "do as they are told". Well I am here to tell you: nothing could be further from the truth. Most of these parents who expect or demand compliance from their children are needlessly headed for frustration and ultimately disaster. The worst part is: it just doesn't have to happen! As parents, we know we are far from perfect. We know we make mistakes; in fact, mistakes are a part of life, so it is inevitable. However, what we want to avoid are those serious mistakes that create larger problems that are difficult to resolve. TOP THREE PARENTING MISTAKES • Getting into power struggles that create resistance in your child
• Treating your child as if they know nothing and you know everything
• Towering over and overpowering your child to get them to do as you want ** To read the full article, go here. ------------------------------------------------------------
*** Book Review: Why Your Life Sucks...And What You Can Do About It – By Alan Cohen ***
------------------------------------------------------------ The in-your-face, no-hype guide to getting happy... Your life sucks if... * You routinely make someone or something more important than you.
* The life you are living on the outside doesn't match who you are on the inside.
* You say yes when you mean no.
* You try to fix other people.
* You've forgotten to enjoy the ride. When your life sucks, it's a wake-up call. Now self-help guru and best-selling author Alan Cohen invites you to answer that call, change your course, and enjoy the life you were meant to live. In ten compelling chapters, Cohen shows you how to stop wasting your energy on people and things that deaden you--and use it for things you love. With great humor, great examples, and exhilarating directness, "Why Your Life Sucks" doesn't just spell out the ways in which you undermine your power, purpose, and creativity--it shows you how to reverse the damage. Here is an encouraging but loud-and-clear reminder that in every moment we generate our own experience by the choices we make, and that today is the best day to begin your new life.
