Raising Peaceful Children: Finding Your Center of Peace & Calm

"Raising Peaceful Children" is a topic I'm very passionate.  I believe that parents have one of the most important jobs in the world...to raise a child who is happy with himself, compassionate toward others...a child who is at peace!  Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing with you, various practices which are supportive in "Raising Peaceful Children".

If you have had a precious moment with a child, I invite you to call in and share that with us. I'd love to hear from you! 

PRACTICE 8:   Finding Your Center of Peace and Calm:  "You can only give away what you have...If you have love, you can give it. If you don't have it, you don't have it to give." by Leo Buscaglia  I find these words of Leo Buscaglia so true. Each person has a need for quiet time to be with their own thoughts. Finding one's "inner space" is a unique journey.  Tonight I'll share several ways that have worked for me over the years.
