What the next generation of women need to know

Women since the early 1900’s had to fight for equality, but even today women continue to be treated unequally. Whether it’s people making assumptions about their jobs or PE teachers favoring the boys, girls as a group still feel the need to defend themselves because of stereotypes that have never ended.

“Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal. And a happy New Year.”

10 simple words that ignited a longing for a new destination. Ever since I was little, I admired Macaulay Culkin’s lonesome trip to the Big Apple and promised myself that I would one day experience the luxuries of the same city during the holiday season. When that moment finally came, it did not disappoint.

Christmas 2017, May it be Your Best Christmas Ever!

When Christmas Season comes around we should be reminded of the glorious scene in the dead of night before a group of shepherds watching their flock. Wonder if we knew this time was our last Christmas as we know it. Would we treat it any differently? Would it mean any more to us this time?

A Teenage Holiday Season

Everyone’s favorite time of the year is here, Christmas, New Years, whatever your holiday maybe! The festive season is approaching quickly. And this month I want to let you all into the world of a high schooler’s perspective on the holidays.

Traditions

Every family has traditions that signal the beginning of the holiday season. From building gingerbread houses to picking a Christmas tree, everyone has a different idea of what is the biggest indicator of the holiday season. For me, I can say for certain that this is not just one thing, but a conjunction of many different events that lead to this feeling.

Parental Insomnia (Part 3) | More Is Caught Than Taught

The first step in overcoming our parental fears is to give it to God. The second building block is to be the parent that God has called us to be. Last month, we talked about focusing on God. Today, I want us to focus on ourselves. I do not mean we need to focus on ourselves selfishly. Like, we need to pamper ourselves with manis, pedis, and full body massages. I mean we need to focus on our personal growth and development.

Wrapping Up

Football season is wrapping up, and as usual, we are supporting all of the Gwinnett teams. Gwinnett has one team still in the running, North Gwinnett High School.

Ask the Senior Care Expert | THE CONVERSATION

 I am often asked by families how to broach the subject of care with their loved ones. Since it is that time of year again where families are together after, perhaps, not seeing each other for an extended period of time, I thought this would be a good question to address this month.

Parental Insomnia (Part 2) Give it To God

 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

The first step, or building block, in overcoming our parental fears is to give them to God.  We need to trust God with our kids.  I know that sounds simple.  I know it seems like the classic Sunday School answer.
