Keeping Your Sanity Rule #5 For Parents of Teens

• Get allies for yourself and
• Get allies for your teen

We have a tough Job...  Who ever said you have to figure this out alone?  Well, they were wrong.  No one has all the answers.  Sometimes there may not be an answer or even more confusing... there may be more than one right way to go!  You can't have too many people loving and caring about you and your family.  Develop a network that you can call on and ask, "What is there to be learned here?"

"You did what you knew how to do,

and when you knew better, you did better."  ~Maya Angelou

Surround your teen with people who can see their best, their strengths and who believe in them and can see their potential!

Ask yourself:

• How can I connect my teen to others who will facilitate their strengths... help them to develop their voice?
• Who can I connect with who can help me to understand and empower me as a a parent of a teen?

Life is not usually about having the right answers... it is about asking the right questions!

Sending my best to you!

Rise And Shine Anytime
Simple Questions To Wake Up Your Life

I am so excited to share this newly released 2nd edition of my popular book,
“G.R.A.C.E. 5 Steps for Bringing your Best to The Next Moment”.

GRACE has grown up, expanded and evolved:

· “Rise and Shine Anytime” is a joyful, affirming book.  You will feel your spirits lifting as you considered the questions in this powerful book.  I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel better about life.  Readers from teens to seniors will find something of worth in this empowering book. 
~Lynne Klippel,   author Web Wonder Women

· “I love this book!  … Those questions really got to me – WOW!  As one gets older, you seem to think you can't do as much as you used to.  I know recently that I made a decision based on my age rather than my abilities and, after seeing that question, I'm starting to doubt my decision.  Thanks for making me rethink this.  Apparently, John McCain has no such problem!
Thanks again,… you're doing a great job.” 
~Linda Morgan, Book Store Manager

Thank you for all your support, referrals and well wishes!

I guarantee you will love this book or
you get your money back!

It is all in the relationship... Parents of teens

"Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him."  Dr. Henker

Now that is wisdom to hang on your fridge...

Remind yourself that:

• you are part of the equation.
• where you focus will make an impact.
• we are all works in process.. be compassionate.
• we are never done learning.
• your child has a unique purpose and destiny from you and yours.
• it is hard to be a parent and not a best friend...

As always, sending my best,
