January 16, 2012

This post focuses on memorable events which occurred in our childhood.
It also reminds us of the importance of being involved in the lives of our children rather than just buying gifts or toys in order to make up for lost time. Our children really need all the love, care and discipline they can get from us.
In my experience, it’s not that easy raising children and my aim is to be the best dad(work in progress). I also acknowledge we have difficult schedules; but if all we can give is 30 minutes of our time each day(which is quite small), they need to have [...]

Emotions are bound to run high because there’s a sense of hurt, betrayal and possibly neglect. Besides it’s difficult to really take a position on loving again once an abuse has taken place, dreams are shattered; there is a break down in friendships/relationships…..
However I subscribe to the school of thought which discourages complete closure [...]

Please Note: This is a very lengthy article but it’s important I write/share all that’s on my mind today.

However, I’m getting into the swing of things and is trying to manage my time properly.

This post is dedicated to anyone going through some form of bitterness.
It doesn’t provide an entire solution to the problem because the degrees and causes of bitterness vary from one individual to another.

He’s also investigated how negative emotions, such [...]
