Looking for something to do with the kids this summer? PLANT A GARDEN!! They will love planting the seeds and watching them grow into carrots 🥕 beets, peas or whatever!! Gardening has been shown to reduce stress and depression, to teach nurturing and patience ( "When will it start growing??" ) not to mention the look of accomplishment when they pull out their first carrot that they grew all by themselves 🥕🥕🥕

"I don't feel complete ", "I feel like something is missing in my life ", "I don't feel worthy "..... these are what you might hear the child of an alcoholic say. This can be a result of their missed childhood. Their childhood may have been full of unpredictability, sadness, fear, anger, disappointment......BUT there is good news!! This was their environment and NOT a reflection of them! * They are just as lovable and worthy as the next person and have much to offer this world ! They are funny, talented, smart, beautiful, goofy.......the list goes on! So, if you are the adult child of an alcoholic today is the day you look into the mirror and say, " There is only 1 you and I love you!" ❤ ❤❤❤❤❤🦁🦋

Christmas can be a very tough and unpredictable time for children growing up in a dysfunctional family. Often ( but by no means always ) someone will drink too much and start a fight, pass out, act obnoxious......if you are ever in a situation like this please show a little extra kindness and Christmas cheer to the little ones. That act of kindness might be the one thing they remember about that Christmas 🦁🦋🎄
