Good Morning

Good Morning Everyone! Thought I would share some of my feelings with you on this wonderful morning. As the book release gets closer I find myself questioning whether it’s good enough. Truthfully, what I do find comfort in is that it really came from my heart. Venturing into the writing world was not an easy task, matter a fact, it was pretty difficult. But I can honestly say that I did not do it for myself. I really want to help someone else.

More than likely we have found ourselves in situations that makes us feel unhappy, depressed, behind, or just stagnate. Then it’s that person who always has something to say about our situation and says the wrong thing at the wrong time, every time. And it’s not that it’s not good information, it’s just we don’t want to hear someone telling us want we should do…all the time. Instead, at the moment if they could just listen or just empathize with us and let us know that you’re going to make it through whatever the situation may be…that would make all the difference in the world.

That’s the angle of Extraordinary Parent. It’s not about telling you what you should do, but rather things that challenged me and me exhibiting ways in which I was able to get pass the challenge. I am not an expert nor do I claim to be. On the other hand, I can tell you that parenting challenges are real and there are times when parents feel they are not adequate or just plain like giving up. One thing that can make a difference is the reassurance that you are not alone and to every challenge there is a solution. I want other parents to know that we can do it together, learn and grow.

In the end, we will find ourselves less stressful, successful and achieving the goals we have set for ourselves. As we motivate ourselves we will see a difference in our children’s actions and attitudes. It’s not just a “me” thing, we are doing this so that our families can be successful. I hope that you will join the journey of Extraordinary Parenting with me; together we will make a difference.

The book is now available in print and eBook. Please request this book in your local book retailers and libraries. Looking forward to hearing from you!!!!! Make this day great!

Always,

Nina

What We See

Why do I keep seeing rainbows? It may sound funny, but they always appear when I’m thinking about something really important. Have you ever had so many things to think on that it’s overwhelming? Well this is how I feel sometimes, but then something good happens in the mist of all the bad. It’s like a sign of hope, just like the rainbow. It is really teaching me to have faith. Faith is something you don’t physically see, that you are hoping for, and believe will happen. My current situation is teaching me to hope for what I don’t see and to believe that it’s going to happen!
Let us remember that having faith is not just a religious thing, it is a way of life. The way we think affects how we act. Having an optimistic outlook on life doesn’t mean that everything is going to go right or what we planned is going to happen, it does mean that we are going to be positive no matter what the circumstance. Things may change but we are going to be positive, an unexpected issue or problem we still are going to be positive. Why? Because the way we think is how we act. And how we act is important because there are people who are watching us, but we’re not just doing it for them we do it for us because we deserve to have a positive outlook on our lives. Look at it like this every challenge that we face makes us stronger, every barrier that we cross takes us further, and every experience makes us wiser. We are extraordinary because we take every negative and find something positive in that situation. We grow from positive…Great day everyone!

Breaking the Chains of Fear

Fear….something we all as humans have experienced. The thing about fear is that it hides itself…sometimes appearing at life’s worse moments! And though we do not always know what part of our lives or what may trigger the effects of fear…we don’t like the feeling it give us.
Fear is a state of mind. Sometimes it is just simply not wanting to face the unknown. Either way it’s not something that produces positive outcomes, in most cases. We are challenged with all types of unexpected issues…but we cannot react in fear. We have the power to live without fear! The fear of anything that holds us back from making positive and progressive moves in our lives. We are not longer bound by the effects and tactics of fear, today we release fear out of our lives. We know that we have a purpose and nothing can stop us but us. We no longer stand in our own way, we are free! Because we have cleared out the dark places were fears can reside, we have challenged ourselves to embrace the unknown, we have Concord every issue that allows to doubt who we are…We no longer live in fear…fear has no room in our lives…WE ARE FREE TODAY!

It’s okay to cry…Right?

This is an excerpt from my book “Extraordinary Parent: A 30-Day Survival Guide for Single Parents”. Hope everyone has a good Weekend! Please comment and let me know what you think!

“Tears are words the heart can’t express”— Unknown

Have you ever caught yourself crying and didn’t know why? Well, more than likely it is because you are so overwhelmed that the emotion you have suppressed comes out unexpectedly.  It is okay to cry. Crying is a natural emotion. It is something human beings were designed to do.  So no matter who told you that it is not okay, it is!

We are emotional beings and it may take us actually seeing our own tears to understand what is really going on in our lives. We sometimes make issues and problems none existent when we really care or want to find a solution. But tears are a way of seeing how much you really care about something. Have you ever tried to cry about something and the tears just do not come? On the other hand, have you ever tried to stop crying about something and you cannot? Well crying allows us to see how deep the emotions and feelings really are.

Single parents go through a lot of things in our lives. And though some may be self-inflicted, it still doesn’t feel good when there are challenges and mistakes made. I am saying that if it takes a tear or more to get through the rough times, you have the right to cry.
