Relationship Reflections

As I sit here take a look at my family find that relationships are an important part life and being I must say that the relationship with my family has is one of the most important to me along with my spiritual relationship. My first relationship is with my mother she is one of the most important people in my life. She has given me the values such as love and the drive to succeed. I grew up in a two parent household this was part of the solid foundation. My father past away and it was a great blow to me but what he taught and instilled in me has not vanished but strengthen me. My husband and children make up my second relationship that I was a part of. They have given me an unconditional love and foundation like no other. We are on the same page when it comes to raising our children. . My husband has my back and I have his which equals out to having the backs of my three sons and grandchildren. I feel that you must have a relationship with God or whatever religious preference that you have. My relationship gives me an inner peace. If I am having troubles I can pray and look for that inner peace and understanding. I have relationships with friends that I call family. We have known each other over the span of twenty- plus years.


“As you think so shall you be! Since you cannot physically experience another person, you can only experience them in your mind.
Conclusion: All of the other people in your life are simply thoughts in your mind. Not physical beings to you, but thoughts. Your relationships are all in how you think about the other people of your life. Your experience of all those people is only in your mind. Your feelings about your lovers come from your thoughts.
For example, they may in fact behave in ways that you find offensive. However, your relationship to them when they behave offensively is not determined by their behavior, it is determined only by how you choose to relate to that behavior. Their actions are theirs, you cannot own them, you cannot be them, you can only process them in your mind.”
— Wayne Dyer



Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is.
The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled.
A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.”

Final Blog Lessoms Learned from the International Standpoint Of Early Childhood Education

Looking back over the past eight weeks I must say there has been a lot of important information presented about Early Childhood Education from the International front. I have learned a great deal. The first consequence that I have earned about was the very different different teaching strategies from around the world. The most important years of learning are from birth to 5 years of age. It is so important that we work to bridge the gap with organizations such as UNICEF that are working for the good of all children around the world. The second consequence that  have enhanced my learning was the way that some countries determine who is educated based on their gender. In some countries female children are not offered the same opportunity of an education because of their sex. This should not be. Every child is important and deserve an education. The third consequence that has broaden my educational position is the presence of situations of hunger, poverty and the absence of immun...

My Supports

My Supports      I must say that I have a great support system within my life. I must start by talking about April 9 th 2017. On this day I lost one of the biggest and much needed cornerstone of my support system. It is the day I lost my father at church and I could not do anything about it. My father had grown to be an important part of my life. He was my confidant; he was my pastor, my dad when I needed to be his little girl again. My life changed forever on that day. I must say that my mom is the center of my system and my husband and three sons have become my cornerstones now. I can go to my mom with anything and she will help me through it. My husband and sons are there for me no matter what. They have seen me at my best and worst. I am the oldest child so I have had to endure some obstacles from my siblings and others this past year. My church family and my faith are also part of my support system. I can talk to my pastor and first lady about so many ...
