Family Goals

 

I wanted to have an open relationship with my children, especially in their teenage years. I knew that in order for that to happen, I needed to start developing that relationship at a young age. But I struggled, as many young mothers do, with maintaining my sanity while juggling three young children.

 

Background

 

Having been raised in difficult and what most would perceive as abusive circumstances, I had the tendency to be harsh, impatient, controlling and overbearing with my children, especially my oldest son, Francesco. But I saw what my actions - or should I say “reactions”- were doing to him and I didn't like the results. I knew there had to be another way. I knew that I had to change.

 

After pouring out my soul to my Creator, I found myself in a training that assisted me in waking up to the power within me. As I took accountability for what I had experienced in my life, I forgave those whom I had perceived as abusers and was able to move forward, choosing to create a better life for myself. This opened up a freedom inside of me that I had never experienced before. I was no longer a victim of my circumstances.

 

Transformation

 

I had awakened to a power within myself and it was beautiful to me. In turn, I wanted to share this with my children. As I did, they grasped the concept quickly. I found that when I asked a few simple questions and trusted fully that they had the answers within them, I was fascinated by what they were able to create.

 

Today, we co-create a beautiful relationship: one of love, peace, joy and mutual admiration, just to name a few. We still have issues that come up, as everyone does, but we are able to move past them quickly and create wonderful results.
