Approval who's do you seek first?
When riding as the passenger as my teenage son, 15 years old, did a U-Turn. I received another beautiful lesson on approval. I enjoy finding these experiences as I experience life in the moments. Here is a great video on how we ask for approval and who's matters. Let me know your thoughts.

Bullying Why it's Showing Up in our World
The One you just called fat? She has been starving herself & has lost over 30lbs The One you just called stupid? She has a learning disability & studies over 4hrs a night. The One you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The One you just tripped? She is abused enough at home. There's a lot more to people than you think.
Instead of being against something be For something ~ Be For Kindness, Support and Love through this we defuse bullying.
Where does the darkness of bullying start is often asked. I have recently witnessed a form of bullying from my son's teacher to my son. Adults want to believe it is just the teenagers who bully ~ this is not true, they learn this behavior from someone = the Adults around them. The smallest acts of unkindness to any other person or creature create a message to a child that it is OK to hurt others. Unfortunately teenagers are just finding their way in this world and they are often left without guidance, their parents are tired, and the community of Aunts, Uncles and Neighbors are busy too.

If we take an hour and learn how the American Indians raised their children we will find it was done in community, the adults all raised the children of the tribe.
So I ask what child did you guide today? If you have children of your own did you guide them plus another?

Let Your Heart Speak
The heart is in direct communication with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes. Your heart opens another heart, and true loved is possible. By Don Miguel Ruiz
How to speak from you heart starts with a plan; Why? Because we have only spoke from our sabotaging emotions, also known as the head, for most of our life.
Here are a few steps to start speaking from your heart;
■Journal about your feelings/emotions; blame, guilt, anger, not good enough feelings are usual feelings which come up.
■List your Gratitude around the situation
■Make a decision on what you want the situation to be; example open heart connection or closed heart
■Set your Intention for what you want; how will you make a difference in your life to make your intention happen
■Make your Action Plan; start with small steps and lead up to big ones but most important make sure you can do what you say are going to do. Sabotaging emotions set in when we set our action plan step to high and then we fall backwards.
“As we focus on opening our heart it can only open the hearts of everyone around us”
