Applying these principles in our lives consciously, and in our parenting, can bring us higher levels of peace, prosperity, and abundance in myriad ways. This particular exercise, […]
The Importance of Grandparents
This morning, I was grateful to be a guest on San Diego news 6 to discuss the important role that grandparents play in a child’s life. What special rituals/traditions do you share with your grandparents?
Courage, Authenticity, Alignment
aftab. / Foter.com / CC BY-NC Many people have seen this video, and was just reminded of it today as I spoke on the phone with a dear friend. We were discussing all the music talent shows, like American Idol, the Voice, and America’s got talent. I have to admit that the only season of […]

Pink Sherbet Photography / Foter / CC BY Having just been on a recent episode of the Ricki Lake show, where the topic was disciplining your children, when I came across this video, I had to share it with all of you. My primary message about spanking is that parents do it because it “works” […]
Disciplining our children on the Ricki Lake show
On Tuesday, I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest on the Ricki Lake show, where the topic was disciplining your children.

Do you know your love language?
You may have heard of the term “love language,” but do you really know what yours is? Your spouse’s? Your child’s? Part of being a conscious parent, is understanding these important differences in our loved ones, AND ourselves. The more we can learn about ourselves, the more we can share that with the people who […]
Enough about the Time Magazine cover photo, what about the actual article?
Now that the actual Time Magazine article is out on newsstands, I wanted to share my perspective on the article, and not only about the cover. And I would love to hear yours. To sum it up, I felt as though the article itself was an unfair representation of both Attachment Parenting, and Dr. Sears. […]
