When working with kiddos, you have to shift your perspective and see with a different lens. All things are not as they seem..all behavior is speaking. What're the kids trying to tell you?

Children are always communicating.

Every child carries a story.

You might be that one adult who “gets” them & can flourish a whole different future for them.

Happy Valentine's Day Imagine Loves!
While today is a day in which we spoil our lived ones with gifts, I am reminded that it is the special experiences together that matter.
❤
Receiving great gifts releases happiness hormone called dopamine. Yeah that's cool but it is short lived happiness response.
❤
What we really want and truly desire are deep relational bonds. These deep relational bonds are developed through positive relational interactions such as a pat on the back, holding hands, hugging, kissing, and laughing together. These positive interactions produce the happiness hormone OXYTOCIN. Also named the "Love Hormone" It is associated with empathy, trust, sexual activity, and relationship-building. In short of a neuroscience lesson...It builds DEEP BONDS!
❤
So this Valentine's Day and every day from this day forward in our relationships let's remember deep bonds increase our total happiness in all our relationships !

Turns out kissing is more than act of affection. Being affectionate with your spouse can produce love with a benefit to you as well.

1. It releases your happy hormones which help us bond through enjoyable things.

2. Has health benefits by lowering stress, cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and boosting your immune system.

Studies indicate that being in a loving relationship can make you happier and increase chances of living longer, so if you find the right person, make sure you give them more than a smooch when you can. It’s only good for your health you know!
Keep calm and kiss the one you love 💘! ImagineUs

We are one week away from the world's day of love...VALENTINE'S DAY! As this day often causes us to reflect on the strengths of our marriages and relationships, I give you four (4) Greek words for love:

Storge* Philia* Eros *Agape*

Storge:Affection
Philia: Friendship
Eros: Romantic Love
Agape: Selfless Love

Are these four loves a part of your marriage?

In the words of my dear friends ,  "affection, friendship, and romance are the training ground for Agape love to grow."

Take some time this week to "Imagine Us" and reflect on ways strengthen, enrich, and grow your marriage.

P.S. you can pick up these sweatshirts

Children learn what they live. What are your children learning?

This post is not just about my kiddos. How many of us struggle with work and life balance?How many of us are working 10, 11, or 12 hour days with no thought of how you are going to refresh your mind body and soul. Without balance in thus area you are headed directly to burn out. However I think there is even more at stake....an unfulfilled life. That is life lived with the punching in and out with a clock and never in the adventure of travel, learning new things, meeting new people and trying new things.
We should take our cues from kids and play just as hard as we work. In other words. If you work hard..PLAY harder!

Hustle * Play* Repeat

Growth most often emerges when we learn to see things differently, and in a new way that is often contrary to our normal thought process. Sometimes personal growth is more about unlearned than learning. How so you say?

Well let's talk about forgiveness. Many struggle with forgiving others who have wronged them, which often results in angry feelings, bitter speech, and a bitter heart. Have you ever considered how much personal energy you use disliking or not forgiving someone? A lot right? Definitely more than they deserve.

The unlearning of this pattern is actually forgiveness. Science and faith actually align on this concept. Forgiveness is actually for us not those who hurt us. It frees us from the crippling jail of soul bitterness. This is one of the first steps to healing ❤.
