- I read something recently about how our children get to decide whether or not they want us in their lives when they become adults and how much they want to include us. Now I know that in every healthy relationship there has to be boundaries and that...
- Life has many lessons for us. Sometimes it keeps bringing us the same lessons until we learn. The lessons can be painful, but they are necessary to help us grow. Often, without the lessons, we would never achieve what we were intended to achieve....
- What do we if our EC calls and is sick or in need? Do we turn our back on them? Didn't they turn their back on us afterall? Weren't they not there for us when we needed them? Weren't some of them unkind to us? Maybe they are still unkind. Didn't...
- They may not contact us often. Maybe they contact us only when they are sick or needy. They may not contact us at all. They may not be there for us. Whatever the case may be for each of us, we can decide that it is ok to be there for them as...
- Our worth is not in estrangement or non-estrangement. It doesn't matter if they are speaking to us or not. It doesn't matter if we've been shunned, rejected, un-friended, blocked, unloved, disowned, etc.We are still worthy. We still matter. We still...

- We believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.We believe that nothing is impossible for Him.We believe in a God that does mighty miracles.Let's keep the faith!
- Yes, when a family member chooses estrangement, it changes the entire family. It affects everyone involved, no doubt. It even changes the one who estranges. That is a reality.But no matter what circumstances change around us or if our estranged...
- Our actions are like seeds that we plant in the ground. With our thoughts, we water them. With our emotions, we give them light. Every time we choose to act with love, kindness, forgiveness and peace, we are planting these things and someday they...
- Getting even isn't about us retaliating against our EC. It isn't about going tit for tat with them because they've done hurtful things to us. It is about keeping score by tabulating what they did and measuring what we will do so that they can't...

- When I forgive, I am not giving someone a pass on hurting me. I am choosing to heal myself by releasing myself from their hurtful action. I am no longer bound by it.When I forgive, I am freeiing myself from bitterness that can turn into a poison for...
