Arlington Cemetery. We will honor you.

Trying to put into words the feelings and pride that overcame me when stepping onto this ground is hard for me to do. But I will say, the pride in God, Country and soldiers was nearly overwhelming. It feels good here. Beyond good. No selfish feelings just gratitude and love for those who have served and given their lives and also their loved ones who served from home while supporting their soldiers. It is by far my favorite place in DC. This is something everyone needs to experience. 
I made it to Arlington. I will go back. And my children will go back and they will learn and be thankful just as I am. Thanks to our men and women in arms who have served us and our country and made the ultimate sacrifice.

Guest Post

Hello ladies (and any gentlemen!) I am having a guest post by my lovely sister in law. I hope you enjoy her thoughts as much as I did.




The Child Whisperer, by Carol Tuttle

For those of you who are familiar with energy profiling, and Dressing Your Truth, The Child Whisperer will build on the knowledge you have, and help you make more sense than ever on how to help your children be true to their nature.

For everyone else, if you have kids, you need to read this book. Have you ever wondered if there was
a “way” to raise your children? Well, as you already know, each of your kids is different. The tricks
or methods you used to help teach, or discipline, one of them rarely, if ever, works the same way on
different children. Each child comes with different quirks and personalities, and each one of those things makes them wonderful and unique. But at the exact same time, each one of your children comes with unique and perplexing difficulties.

The Child Whisperer is a unique book. It takes what you know about your children, and helps you create a roadmap for each one. It allows you to get inside each child’s head, or rather their nature.

If you’ve ever wondered why one of your children seems more reserved, or willing to obey you, while
the next one seems to bounce off the walls, exuding enough energy to arm a nuclear bomb, you are
most definitely not alone. The wonderful thing about Carol Tuttle’s book is that is equips you with the
ability to identify your child’s nature, what makes them tick, and how to help them live true to who they
are.

There are four basic types of energy, and each person predominantly lives their live, whether they
know it or not, around one of these types. Each type of energy processes thoughts differently, reacts
differently to any given situation, and even loves differently. The Child Whisperer will first help you
identify which energy type your child is, and then it will give you suggestions and tips on how to help
that child learn and act in ways that honor who he or she is.

This book is so helpful you can’t not read it. I read it, and already I have been able to see a difference in
my children. They are happier, and I am happier.

Follow this link and check out the website … and the book. You’ll be glad you did.

Sincerely,
