Encouragement Matters!
"Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but words will never hurt me!”
Even as a child, you knew this schoolyard taunt wasn’t true.
Words DO hurt!
Words like: “You’re ugly.”, “You’re stupid!",
or “You can’t do anything right!", either
caused you to withdraw, turn inward and
feel bad about yourself, or to turn those
feeling outward and hurt others.
And when you heard "Good job!", "You're
so smart!", or "I'm so proud of you" your
happiness and self-confidence soared!
Clearly, words have phenomenal impact. Watch Alye's video by clicking here.
As an adult in a young child's life, you have tremendous power. Your words can either build their self esteem and confidence or destroy it. You see, the words kids hear WILL shape who they become as teenagers - like Alye - and who they become as adults, for better or for worse.
That's why I wrote The Magic Mirror and The Grandma Message - to give you the exact words you can use to uplift, encourage and make a profound positive impact on the young children in your life. As you read the words of this story to your son or daughter, your grandchild, a neighbor or a friend, you will be building the emotional muscle they need to thrive in this sometimes very hurtful world, a world where bullying is far too common.
I’ve worked in the personal development field for over 25 years and one thing I know for sure: When each of us see and believe in our own worth, we live joyous, thriving, positive lives! And when we don't believe in our own value, we become sad, depressed, dysfunctional, are bullied or turn into bullies.

Use The Grandma Message to build a rock solid foundation
of self-worth and self-belief in your children.
For when you help even one child believe in themselves,
you will have changed the world for the better.

Nope, no way...
And here's why. I'm currently reading The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity: A Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance and it's screwing with my head space -- in a good way. I thought I really understood these principles… not the case. Truthfully, I've known about them, but chose to practice them according to my own guidelines and mostly when it was convenient.
First Law, Tithing; giving back to God (Source) one tenth of everything you receive.
Secretly I asked: Really? One tenth? Gross or net? Is it negotiable? Author, Edwene Gaines gives you the skinny on what & why. She says, "tithing is the prosperity principle that brings up the most resistance in people, a resistance that comes from a fear that there will not be enough to go around." Hence the challenge, because the lesson we need to learn is that we live in a lavish and abundant world, where all our wants and needs will always be provided for "- if we're to make the journey to prosperity.
If you choose to do it, there will be days when it's easy and days when it'll be hard. The hard days are where the most growth happens. As with any other success formula, you have to follow it all the way to get the promised results. With current economic pressures you may think this is not the time to start tithing, but maybe that's exactly why it is time.
Thanks to Lisa Sasevich for sending me this book and heartfelt gratitude to Edwene Gaines for writing it. It's been a gift I needed without knowing I needed it. It's encouraged me to reexamine beliefs and habits I'd fallen into. Each day since receiving The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity there's been new insight and deeper understanding, unexpected surprises and the occasional test to see if I'm really committed.
Do yourself a favor and get a hold of this book. Do yourself an even bigger favor and put the Laws into practice.
If it scares you, JUMP IN!
Jump into your life!

Btw, in the past, even when I thought I was tithing I made up my own rules about what could qualify: like pro bono work, volunteer hours, charitable donations of goods. Not the case… grab the book for your own clarity.
