Teens with Fatalistic Attitudes Engage in Risky Behaviors

By Cyndi July 1, 2009 3:07pm 11 Comments

CSR

A survey was done using more than 20,000 teenagers, which resulted in a disturbing outcome. Almost 15% of these teens had the belief that they would die at a young age. A commonly held belief about why teens engage in risky behavior is that they feel they are immortal, invincible and somehow impervious to harm. It has also been assumed …

What People Say (or how they react) – Says About Them

By Cyndi May 25, 2009 11:42pm 50 Comments

CSR

Today I had two diametrically opposed experiences. While in Trader Joe's market with my family my youngest, 10 months old, was momentarily squealing joyfully as my husband strolled her down the aisles. Everyone who passed smiled at her and at us and both of our daughters smiled back - even the squealing one. Many people came over to …

Talking to Your Kids About Sex – Part 2

By Cyndi May 20, 2009 12:23am 8 Comments

CSR

By the time a child is 7 or 8 years old you should have explained basic anatomy to them. They should know the names of both male and female body parts. This knowledge helps to pave the way for the explanation of what purpose those parts serve, such as reproduction. The inevitable, "where do babies come from?" question is likely to …

Defining Moments

Sunday, July 5, 2009 | An Inspiring story

Friday I went to a service from a man I barely knew but I learned in two hours what took a man 68 years to share with so many. I saw all the good in a man but could not neglect to remember his one huge memorable sin, sexual harassment. Like Michael Jackson, and his pedifile charges, how you can live a wonderful successful life in one way and be a complete failure in another, this i...

Her brother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is not a woman of faith and I know she is devestated by this news. Please help to comfort and show understanding to her. I don't know what to say or do, I can't imagine how or what to do. Or how to help all I know is to start a prayer chain and ask for your help...

4th of July: good and bad

Saturday, July 4, 2009

The 4th of July is very exciting for my girls. Rides and fireworks are the highlights of their day. My son, on the other hand, loves and hates today. He likes some of the rides, and the ones he really likes he doesn't want to get off of. The fireworks, he likes the lights, but not the sound. So I have him on my lap covering his ears with my hands so he doesn't freak out. I keep thinking t...

Saturday, July 4, 2009 | A General Update story

WELL, I AM MOVED. I WORKED FOR ABOUT 20 HOURS WITH ONLY SHORT BREAKS, BUT ITS DONE. OK, SO NOT COMPLETELY. WE ARE OUT OF THE OLD PLACE, BUT GETTING THINGS ORGINIZED IN THE NEW PLACE WILL TAKE SOME TIME. MAY I NOT FORGET ALL THE HELP I HAD IN THIS MOVE, WHICH ALWAYS CAME WHEN THINGS STARTED TO LOOK BLEAK. I AM GRATEFUL.

Tired and down

I have decided to cut all sodas out of my diet, I'm on two days with out one. Today I just layed on the couch after I fed the kids breakfest. I just didn't feel like getting up. Now I'm here...
