Some words of wisdom from my mother, a long time ago: Forgive yourself, and move on. As a Chaplain I’ve learned from so many people that it’s easier to forgive someone else than it is to forgive ourselves. Don’t know why. So, from my mom and me, for whatever guilt you are holding on to: “Forgive yourself, let it go, and move on”.
Does anyone know where the video is about the serving bowls that can be used as measuring bowls? It was on the show about 2 weeks ago. I have been looking for the video, but havn’t been able to find it on the website.
I have found that you need to make your self happy from within. I am 66 years old and I know that no one can make you happy until you are content with the person you are . When you can spend time alone and not be bored and enjoy the experience of just doing what you want to . not in a selfish way . I’m just saying you can be happy with people and if your alone .Don’t depend on anyone for your happiness.
Sometimes as parents we complain about out children. “She is being so bad today.” “She’s driving me crazy.” “Oh well, you know what she’s like,” etc.
When we’re saying these things, sometimes we’re laughing, sometimes we’re ticked off; sometimes we’re saying it just because it has becomes a habit. Whatever the circumstance, parents complain to each other about their children, often in front of them.
My daughter was 2, and my friend told me. When I raised my son, I made the choice to never speak negatively about him and to always be in his cheering section. I thought this was really good advice and started doing this. I made the choice to never criticize or speak negatively about my child, and to always find ways to praise her. My daughter is now 18, off at University, and I love the person she is and has become.
You know the verse; the tongue is the smallest member that does the most damage. I’m so thankful to my friend and her advice many years ago. It’s just as easy to find something right with your child, as it is something wrong. It really helps a child to feel loved and respected, which certainly everyone needs in life. This was the best advice I’ve every received, and every day I’m thankful for the wisdom of a good friend.

NEVER EVER mess with a married man.. & especially get pregnant by him… How can a woman accept that??? What is she thinking about??? Is she thinking that the wife aint doin her job and that’s why he’s coming to her??? Do she really think that that is what love’s supposed to be like??? Do she not think she deserves better… I can understand if she didnt know he was married, but come on…. If his daughter is one of the most famous artist in the world…
Even if he tells her, “oh I’m not happy” or “I’m goin to leave her”… Does she really believe that… To all the women who are involved with a married man and know he’s married…. Are there not any other men you would rather screw around with??? Wouldn’t you like to have a man to call your own???
Seriously homewreckers….GO F$#! YOURSELF!!!
Don’t get caught up in the b***s***
Compliments of my seventh-grade English/Geography teacher at East Side
Junior High School in Chattanooga, Tn. Miss Betty Magill:
Maturity is the ability to leave that better left unsaid unsaid.
It took me awhile to learn how to do this but this is my advice…let go of the things you have no control over. It does no good to worry and stress when there is nothing you can do about it!
“Take chances in life”.
And when I realized that I could get out of this box that I’ve been in since forever-I never felt freeer-I was fearless.
I met a guy off a social network (Myspace) and we communicated everyday for 2mths. he asked me to marry him on Valentine’s Day 2008 and I took a CHANCE and said YES.
I planned my own wedding (took a chance) in 3 and a half mths. and was married on June 27th, 2008-and still happily married.
I took yet (another chance) and moved from my hometown, to a new city and state that I was not familiar with and knew no one except for my new husband–and I love this place-wouldn’t go back to my hometown for nothing in the world-lol.
We have since started a wedding planning business and having planned my own wedding. I am now a wedding planning consultant & coordinator (another chance I took) in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area. Taking a chance on a new career that I love!
Please visit my web-site at http://www.just4uweddingservices.com and follow me on Myspace (I owe them, or I would have never found the love of my life), where you can get the latest information (also Facebook & Twitter).
If your life is boring-make it exciting. Take on a new career, travel the world, get married, move to a new location. The ball is in your court, you have control of your own life, don’t let anyone hold you back in life from doing what you want to do!
So, in closing I made my up my own saying or piece of advice that you can find on my web-site on the “About us” section.
“Take control of the steering wheel and drive yourself to success” and don’t forget-take chances in life! God bless.
You can never borrow your way out of debt.
Always look back before you leave somewhere.
You are the only one that controls your own attitude in every situation.
Whatever you do, do it the best you possibly can – then turn your back on it. (no second guessing!) Corolla, NC
Too soon we get old; too late we get smart.
Just do it.
if you don’t need it, don’t buy it. save all the money you can get.
