Tips for Creating New & Lasting Friendships

Image
  Hey Friends and Everyone out there! Here's my TOP 20 tips...    These tips are based on lived experiences from myself and other friends & apply to all relationships but, today I’m typically focusing on friendships that we form after we have left very extreme belief systems that provided instant connections for us in the past. They also equipped us with false expectations, critical judgement of others, terrible information (like building codependency instead of inter dependence & independence ) and seeking for validation from others.( yikes)! So being out for the last 7 years these are my personal experience tips , my two cents, if you will... Do not lead with your trauma story, or your riddled past of how you grew up in a cave of isolation first - save that information for people of trust.   You’re not hiding it but you’re also not using it as a precursor to let everyone know why are you functioning and acting the way you do and why you are a  little ...

I can't believe i can still do some of this crazy shtuff!!! I may be almost 30 but, I'm not dead yet! ( plus i think 30 is still very young!) Elisabeth and Brielle LOVE the foam pit and rope but they can't climb it yet( neither can i) But, my friends can do it! Little Merich loved the pit!

Man, having a boy would rock our world in such a cool way! Here's to hoping, right? ( boy,girl, giraffe... we'd be ecstatic!) Aria is very serious on the beam ! She is getting pretty good at balance and strength stuff! Brinley ( in background) is getting some pointers! All my friends are doing cartwheels and very well i might add!

I'm finally catching up on pics! Bu, it has taken me a while so, i will be doing some FF's to speed everyone up.. Today we will highlight Brielle's School Holiday program from December! Brielle had a speaking part and she did it perfectly in her tiny, sweet voice! And she played a song with bells and did a great job too! at the end of the program SANTA walked in the room as a surprise to all the kids! He was a COOL Santa and Brielle knew- he was one of Santa's Helpers b/c his whiskers weren't real! Aria took forever to warm up to him but, finally did! Me and Dara sitting on the Fat mans lap! You can tell Aria is still a tad leery! But Not Brandon!!!! I have the funniest Hubby ever! Unfortunately, in the whole program not one actual Christmas Song was sung about the REAL meaning of the Season... Christ's Birth. Then a song was altered that ticked off Brandon and made me realize that we live in a world with shifting Morals and God is unchangeable despite these ...
