January marks the beginning of a new year, a fresh start, a clean slate. It's our chance to take a different angle at the way we approach the many aspects of our life, that will hopefully yield higher dividends than all years prior.
Whether in physical fitness, financial fitness, or resolve to be a better friend, neighbor, employee, wife, or mother, it will make a difference for you, one way or another.
Purging old habits and forging new ones is a challenge that some surrender to, and leave it to the dreamers to make any real headway in accomplishing the far fetched goal. But, with a little resolve, patience, commitment, and determination, I believe we can rid ourselves of destructive (or less productive) behaviors, little by little, until we master the art of what we've given our laser focus to.
There are a few women I know who emulate mastery at one thing that seems to evade me just so... parenting. So, my selection for the month also known as "New Year's Resolution" month, is a book recommended by one of these women: Children Learn What They Live by Dorothy Law Nolte.
For all women who fall somewhere between an A+ mother and a failing one, let's get together January 20th 8 p.m. at my home: 12561 Sondrio St. to discuss how we can help sculpt our children into future confident community contributors and individuals.
Plus, we can determine the rest of the year's hostesses and books. See you soon!

The Fourth Gift Was a Gift To Us All
Although I wasn't there personally, I learned from attendees that December's book club was wonderful. Partly because the author came and shared great insights and backstory surrounding his writing career, and partly because Jen made delicious treats and an atmosphere of welcome and friendship. The book exchange had everyone going home with new reading material. Long after the guest appearance had left, the conversation and fun continued. Thanks again, Jen, for hosting, and inspiring us all with just a sweet Christmas story and evening!
