August 2007 Newsletter

This month's article is entitled "Looking Through Their Eyes". Enjoy, and feel free to share it with your friends!

I am so excited to share with you that this newsletter is traveling to five countries! That is so exciting for me because I have a vision and dream that families around the world will come together in a parenting style that stems from intuition and inner wisdom; coming from our roots, who we are. It is already happening. We are coming together! Imagine the impact on the world, as we raise our level of parenting, and go deep within ourselves and our roots to parent our children!

"There is no single effort more radical in its potential for saving the world than a transformation of the way we raise our children."
~Marianne Williamson

And remember the importance of parenting babies before they are born. Babies in utero want and need connection and love. All it takes is an open heart to hear and feel them, and then to respond. It is so much fun and it is essential to the baby's well-being. This experience becomes the core of the quality of the rest of their life.

"A baby's in utero experience builds the brain architecture that will determine behavior throughout life."
~Frederick Wirth, MD, Author, Prenatal Parenting

There are numerous resources available for parenting and prenatal bonding. You can check out the recommended reading and links sections on my website for some suggestions. I have more to add, so please check periodically for updated information.

KEY: When you are looking at ways to be with your children, make sure it is something that feels good in your heart. Many parents handle things in a certain way because the "experts" say that's the "best" way to do it. Well, guess what ... YOU are the expert! You have all of the answers within YOU. Tap into what you already know.

"We must learn to imagine what we already know."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley

The coaching that I offer my clients is about empowering them and awakening their intuition. I rarely work directly with children. Instead, I coach parents to effectively work with their children themselves. It's like any organization or business, in that it starts with the leadership. You are the leaders in your family. Fill up your toolbox, fine tune your intuition, and lead your family to happiness and success! It's that simple. Even Tiger Woods has a coach! It's time to invest in our parenting and give our children everything we have to give. It's the best thing parents can do for themselves and their children.

Contact me, if you would like more information. I offer a free 15-minute consultation!

Thank you for the time you invest in learning how to be a better parent. It makes for a better world for all of us, and it will surely come back to you in spades!

May your month be filled with many blessings and much love!

Namaste'
