Are you kidding me with this?

I'm not one to rant... but I'm making an exception today.  I got a call from my sixth grade daughter (who was at school, crying) recently and was told I needed to bring her some clothes to change into because hers weren't 'appropriate' for school and went against the dress code. What??? I thought back to what she had on that morning, which was actually an outfit she wears to church; leggings & a baby-doll style top that came to her thighs--completely covering her butt--and a long-sleeved blue-jean jacket. I took a deep breath and told her I would be right there.  Well, when I got there, she was upset and embarrassed that she had to be taken out of class (missing her lesson) so she could wait on me to bring her clothes. When I asked the office why her clothes broke dress code, I was informed it was because her top didn't come within an envelope's width of her knees. Really? So, let me make sure I understand. She can't wear leggings when she w...

Mental Health Awareness Month

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month , I've got my latest duology on sale for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee ~ only $2.9 9 !

Things I wish I had embraced a long, long time ago... Don't chase .   What's meant to find you will. Be grateful .   It's a 'biochemical superpower' that rewires your brain to be healthier & more resilient. Never react from a place of anger .   Take some deep breaths, count to 10, & let it settle down first. You may realize a reaction isn't even needed. Silence speaks louder than exposition .  T he most profound stories find their power in the chapters left unwritten & the reactions left unspoke n. Only value the opinion of those who matter .   If you don't care about them, don't care what they think .  Don't let strangers anger you .   If you don't know them, don't let what they do or say affect your mood. Keep the key to your happiness in your own pocket .   Don't give others that kind of power over you . Only give energy to the things & people you value .   Don't feed what you don't want t...
