From The Heart - The Education System And Our Youngsters
Whether we are parents or not we all remember our schooling and experience modern schooling and the 'fit' or not with 'modern teenagers'. Is it still as good as it needs to be? Does it actually lovingly prepare our youngsters for the future world or is it dated, out of place and no longer truly serving all of them?
From a loving parental aspect let's discuss how we maybe all experience challenges as parents and how we might see our loved ones struggle and let's look together at how maybe we can create a better future born from love not control!
Enjoy!

From The Heart - You Don't Know What You've Got...
Sometimes, indeed possibly took often, we don't fully take stock and value what we have got until it is threatened or lost. How sad!
In pour busy busy worlds where the tendency is towards selfish absorption and push for cash it is too easy to let things that matter slip away. Today let's look at simple ideas that hopefully can help you and I to take stock, appreciate and be grateful for everything that 'IS' rather than wishing away our lives chasing something abstract!
