The Ultimate START OVER

I Was Thinking...
I am REALLY EXCITED!!! 
The Ultimate "START OVER" is Almost Upon Us!   
 
Last year and all of its yuck does NOT define me or my child or my relationship with my child, as long as... I can start over. 
 
When we are dealing with hard stuff day after day, it gets REALLY hard to start over!  We get so stuck in our thinking that we are no longer healing...we are actually just stopped in so many ways! 
 
Well, my goal is PEACE, JOY, LAUGHTER and HEALING--To achieve that goal, starting over is KEY! 
It's so freeing to be able to move forward rather than spin your wheels or feel backed into a corner....As the parent, IT'S UP TO YOU!
 
I know what you are thinking...How do I just START  OVER???
 
First, you have to focus on FORGIVENESS---forgive yourself, forgive your support system, forgive your child, forgive.... 
 
Second, you have to EDUCATE YOURSELF---our children are so much more than their behaviors. If we truly understand "all" of them, our lives as their parents will be changed - our entire family will be different. There is so much to know and remember; we have to make this a regular routine!
 
Third, you have to USE TOOLS and TECHNIQUES THAT WORK---we have to do "it" differently. The way we do "it" makes a huge difference
 
Fourth, you have to SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THOSE THAT REALLY KNOW---finding people who really get it helps us to feel normal and accepted, gives us fuel, and helps us to never feel alone.
 
I know it seems like a lot, but when you are talking LIFE CHANGING...it's going to be big!  You can do it, WE can do it...TOGETHER!! 
 
Get Ready...The Ultimate START OVER is almost upon us!
