Special Gifts for Mother’s Day to Show Her Love
Hello Friends, I am so excited to share with you some special gifts for Mother’s Day to show her love! It is just so special to celebrate your mom and to be celebrated as a mother yourself. Motherhood is both an amazing gift to cherish forever, and an exceptional challenge that we get to meet every day. I read recently that we will know our children for most of their lives as adults, so we should try to cherish every moment while they’re little. When we’re engrossed in the throws of mothering young children with diaper changes or potty training, feedings, cleaning, and play and all of the…

How to Actively Listen to Enjoy Time with Others
Active listening to enjoy the holidays to the fullest with family and friends with views different than your own. Dear Friends, We live in such a unique time in history. Everyone is more polarized than they have been in any point in my life, and I’m sure yours as well, and we are being expected to choose a side for any opinion we may have. It is as if there is no room for neutrality anymore. This is just so taxing on our relationships with family and friends and it can feel so devastating and isolating.
