Emotionally Uncomfortable

" When my daughter turned one in 2012, I consciously quit my long-standing six-figure career to be home full time. Although this was a blessing to have had the choice to make happen, at the same time it was a huge adjustment from being a career person and having a very structured routine to a non-structured routine and no longer in "control of my day". At the prime age of 39, I found my daughter was "raising me" in ways I never thought possible. Prior to motherhood, I had parenting "all mapped out" – from how it would "look" and "go" – yet much to my surprise it was anything but what I expected. With my (unconscious ego), I figured since I had all my "ducks lined up" that stepping into my new-found parenting was going to be pretty smooth. Little did I know I was in for the biggest awakening of my life." - Sandra Fazio Sandra Fazio: www.theconsciousparentblog.com Sandra Fazio facebook: www.facebook.com/theconsciousparentjourney Ready to take your life and parenting to the next level?

"Human beings are not reasonable creatures, instead of being ruled by logic, we are ruled by emotions. The world would be a happier place if the opposite were true. For example, based on a single phone call, I have begun to hope for a miracle. I don't believe in God." - From The Sun Is Also A Star. I want to hear from you.

"Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears." - Les Brown Fear stops you from all things possible. Don't let fear get in the way of anything, especially your dreams. Fear = False evidence appearing real. Your fears are not real because they're not actually happening - they're based on things that haven't happened yet and therefore don't exist.

It's time we have a serious discussion about avoiding uncomfortable conversations. It's in these moments we find and create freedom and joy. Avoiding discomfort keeps you small and holds you hostage to your deepest desire. In this episode, I discuss how and why these are the most important conversations we should be having and who we become by having these conversations.

Becoming the person we want our children to become is my #1 mission in life. Showing children how to master their own greatness is priceless. " Simply stated, my students are special beyond words. I teach in an area of Brantford, Ontario known as 'Eagle Place'. I am the Grade 8 teacher to 23 strong willed, hard working, and kind hearted 13 year old students who will be venturing off to high school next year. For many of my students, our portable at the back of our school is considered their safe place. It is a place where they are fed breakfast in the morning, given a winter coat and boots to keep warm, and a place they are cared for each and every day. Their life is far from the typical life of a 13 year old. Responsibilities of their sibilings, going grocery shopping, and keeping the water bill down by showering once a week requires them to carry on their days like an adult. Although some of my students have never seen the likes of "Pizza Day" or travelled to the "North-side" of the city, they make the best of every situation and rise to every occassion. Whether it was walking 45 minutes as a group to their future high-school to win the Spirit Award or learning the game of Volleyball with only 3 balls in total, their determination rises them to the top. I have been teaching for almost 10 years, and in those 10 years I have never encountered such compassionate and grateful students. This is my first GoFundMe I have created and all proceeds will go towards sending my Grade 8 students on a Year End Trip and towards their Grade 8 Graduation. I plan on taking them on a day trip to Toronto to see the CN Tower and a Blue Jay's game, which would require a bus, food, and ticket/tour costs. For Graduation, I would use proceeds to order their plaques, reserve bowling lanes for an after-grad event, as well as get a hair stylist to do their hair at school for their big day. Although my students have been fundraising by going door to door to sell pies and pizza kits, the socioeconomic status of their community limits their funding tremendously. My goal is to give them the opportunity to live like a kid, worry-free, for a few days. I would appreciate anything you could contribute to make their final elementary year something they will never forget.

"My legs were barely touching the bathroom floor as I struggled to untie my oversized scrubs and rest my tired, unmotivated glutes on the cold hard plastic of the toilet seat. Being the short petite woman I am, I've always wondered what it would feel like to stand next to someone and not feel like they were looking down at me. Over time I discovered that if you stand far away enough from others you give off the optical illusion of being taller than you actually are. In this case, I was unable to hide, no one to distance myself from, just me and my short stocky legs barely able to ground myself while I pulled out the pregnancy test strip from my shirt pocket..." - The beginning of something new FREE RESOURCES: Parenting Teens Survival Guide Giveaway 20+ sanity-saving resources to support you on this (crazy!) journey to raise happy, healthy, confident teens!
