We must REMEMBER how much our everyday actions affect people around us and how theirs also affect us! As spoken by Marcel Proust, "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." Marcel Proust As we continue to show our gratitude let's also pay attention to those who show their appreciation toward us and who positively imprint on our lives. #PositiveImage #REMEMBER #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #Change #StepByStep #Determination #Blossom #Gratitude #Thankful #Blessed #PayAttention #Happy #Actions #Motivation #Appreciation (at Homewood, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4ha0SlBLs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=grxrzb0trv28

Fear, an agonizing, stressful, and potentially tormenting emotion, can keep us from doing and giving our best. However, as Franklin Roosevelt stated in 1933, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". In parenting, there are SOOO many situations and circumstances that can go wrong; but, there are SOOO MANY MORE that can go right! "He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" (Deuteronomy 31:8). We must lead our children in confidence and faith as WE continue to be the best that we can not only for them but for ourselves! We can push past our fears when we are willing, courageous, and able. #PositiveImage #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #Change #StepByStep #Determination #FaceFears #KEEPtheFAITH #BeCourageous #KeepMovingForward #Deuteronomy #FranklinRoosevelt #OldPic #Costumes #TheRink #Chicago #JurassicPark #MikeWasowski #Explorer #MonstersInk #Skating #FacingFears https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmP0jdl1lo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o0q2itc30wvm

Some years ago my mother gave me advice in regards to dealing with tough situations with my son. She told me when I holler it means that I've lost control. Of course I struggle with this when I'm upset, angry, or tired because most of the time, the issue isn't my son. Instead, it is my inability to control my emotions and express MY feelings. More than anything, I am being studied by my child and EVERYTHING that I do reflects onto him and who he will grow to be. Therefore, I have to be in control of my own emotions to better serve my son and to give him an example of how he can do so. #PositiveImage #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #Change #BecomeBetter #DoBetter #YouAreBeingWatched #ChildrenReflect #ParentalExample #Throwback #Photo #FarmFun (at Bloomington–Normal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUqEQ8FRLW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uwhmmqle78mh

Happy Wednesday!!! This morning, Jaythan asked to not go to basketball practice because he has basketball AND gym on Mondays and Wednesdays. We talked about his commitment to the team and growth that he will endure from continuing to push himself and give his best! Our children are capable of doing sooo much so we have to continue to push them to do and be better! They must build their own sense of self-determination so that they may apply it to real world situations as they continue to learn and grow. Former first lady, Michelle Obama once stated: “I can’t cherish you to death. We have to raise our children to be the adults that we want them to be, and that starts young. You can’t be so afraid that life will break them that you don’t prepare them for life. Sometimes our fear keeps us from pushing our kids out into the cold cruel world. And then they’re not ready and we wonder why.” Let's work harder to raise determined children who know how to push passed the stumbling blocks and hard times that meet them along their paths to success!!! #PositiveImage #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #Change #StepByStep #Determination #PushForward #CherishChildren #TeachThemTheWay #Grow #Learn #BecomeBetter (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCr-8YlPEv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v81l7angbmcq

"For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor...For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God...To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps." 1 Peter 2:15‭-‬17‭, ‬19‭, ‬21 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/1pe.2.15-21.NIV #PositiveImage #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #Change #StepByStep #DoGood #1stPeter #ChristSuffered #GodsWord #Ready (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BovbnraFMFI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y8bg059pet8q

So many negative and unfortunate events occur in life that we may tend to want to give up but as Yolanda Adam's sings in "Never Give Up": "Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your way but you gotta keep the faith. Bring what's deep inside your heart to the light and never give up..." (Yolanda Adams) So, let's keep the faith through trying times and work hard and smart to make the BEST of them! #PositiveImage #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #Change #StepByStep #NeverGiveUp #KEEPtheFAITH #JustKeepSwimming #KeepGoing #WorkHard #WorkSmart #WeMadeIt (at South Loop) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeosqOFQyo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kwp9m0ht6y8e

As parents, we work hard to balance family, school, and work! There will be plenty of trials and tribulations to come our way but as Justice Bernard Brown said in an excerpt of his poem, the Hard Working Mother: "...The hard working mother...  Is the ice in the fire  Yet keeps moving with pride in her step  And motivation in her heart..." (justice bernard brown) Even in the hardest times when all odds are stacked up against us, we must continue to press on moving with pride in EVERY step  and MOTIVATION in our hearts! Therefore, we must continue to be GREAT in all that we do to do all that we can for ourselves and our families. #PositiveImage #Parenting #PossibleWithGod #HardworkingMother #KeepMovingForward #MoveWothPride #Motivation #beGREAT #Balance (at South Loop) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoLeScQFlzV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1279moqrjzig9
