Maybe energy can’t be seen by the visible eye but it sure can be felt! Have you ever been to a place and it changed the way you felt? Maybe you spent some time walking around there and then you started feeling tired. That happens to me when I go to those big, huge supermarkets with over 10 aisles, the freezing cold section, and the dim strange lighting. I am an outdoor person and, without a doubt, feel more energetic walking trails in nature. How much of this could be “preference” and attitude or how much could be that I really feel the energy of the physical location?

Energy is all around us. We are energy. What we consume and what we produce is energy. Integrate more energy awareness in your parenting approach. Notice how you make your home feel. Notice the foods that make your kids feel great all day. Notice how your thoughts influence those around you even if you don’t express them in words. There is even the invisible side to parenting, something that can’t be seen or even explained rationally, but it’s there. Be conscious of it! 5

PEACE IN NUTRITION
Stop Weight Struggle EAT360 with Catherine Garceau By Diana Dentinger
I’m very excited to be sharing with you the work of Catherine Garceau, Olympian and author of “Swimming Out of Water”. What she’s up to now is truly inspiring and will be transforming the lives of many women by turning disordered eating into opportunities for greater emotional intelligence, health, and life fulfillment. Being a personal friend of Catherine, I know the depth of experience she brings to what she teaches, which is why I wanted to share this with you. Regardless of whether you have personally struggled with food, body image, or weight challenges, you probably recognize the huge need in our culture for lasting lifestyle solutions & emotional freedom. Catherine is a practicing EFT body-mind nutrition coach and is launching a program now called EAT360. It is the most thorough system I’ve seen that holistically addresses the root causes of women’s struggles with weight and eating.
Take a peak in her free video series as she guides you to experience greater freedom with food and body by gaining:
• Greater emotional intelligence • Passion and nourishment from Life in new ways
• Better sleep and relaxation when you need it
• An exercise routine that fits you • Weight loss that lasts (with no intense deprivation)
• A sense of peace and acceptance about your body
• An ability to deal with new stress when it arises
• Freedom to BE YOU out in the world 8
Growth is an inside job.
Parent in a way to open kids to all their hidden growth potential.

Sound too good to be true? Not at all. Not when you meet Catherine and the cocreator of the program, Johnny Blackburn. In fact, you don’t have to take my word for it because they’ve prepared a free training video series to introduce you to their work. You can dive in right now – get to know Catherine and why she’s been devoted to this work - watch her awesome intro video for the first tips to EAT. No matter if it’s for weight loss, binging, yo-yo dieting, or poor body confidence, I’m excited for the women in my life to benefit from this awesome Lifestyle system. It’s so cool to watch Catherine’s mission to help thousands of women worldwide transform their relationship with food & body become a reality,
EAT360 Free Video Series
Anyway, her video training series is running now, so I hope you’ll take 3 mins to watch and get to know Catherine and her Emotional Eating program. I’m honored to have watched her grow and expand both her experience and knowledge in this field, to now be offering this complete system for women’s transformation around food and body. If you’re a woman – and you eat – you may be surprised to find how much this system helps you bring peace into your relationship with food, your body, and you life. And if it ends up being a fit for you, I can’t wait to hear about the transformation! No more crash diets. No more self-sabotage. No more avoidance. If you haven’t yet seen this, or opted in – I encourage you to do so.

PEACE IN GUIDING
The Role of a Lifetime How to Guide and Allow By Ingrid Geronimo
Wow! Being a parent is an amazing journey that unfolds for those of us who choose it or who are chosen by it. Without any manual or true guidance, as parents, one of the common chords we all have is that of just wanting to do better than our parents did. However, in my life as a parent, I’ve learned so much about what we are and what we need to be for those who use us as their entry point into this life. There are so many theories about this life, about parenting and about being children in our society and, so many expectations that we’re trained into that it’s a wonder that we don’t lose our mind, especially as parents.
The best advice I was ever given came from a young lady who had worked her way into being a mental health worker, helping families through rough patches. My children were between two and five years old and I wound up staying with her for a week while I was in transition. She said, “Ingrid, the problem you’re having is you think they belong to you. They don’t belong to you! We’re just guides. Granted, we’re the main guides in their lives but we’re not the only guides and, their lives are theirs to live, not ours. If you take on that role fully you’ll stop beating yourself up and just deal with what is as it comes along. You’ll be able to guide them when it’s truly needed and be able to allow them to unfold into the beings that they came here to be.” What a powerful conversation that was for me. I know that I have had the right guides along the course of my journey here and some were flesh and blood guides and, some were unseen guides.
12
Being in tune with yourself as a spirithuman first will open the way for an experience that is full of wonderment and personal truth.
They are here to remind us that we are just guides that have forgotten our true sense of being, our divinity and our natural gifts.
One of those truths for me has helped me so much because at now age 55 with two boys who are in their twenties, I have had to face one whose in jail because he chose a life of drugs from the age of 14 (possibly earlier) until it led him to where he is now. Had I not taken the sage advice of that one friend, I would have been telling myself that I was a terrible parent.
We want to allow them to unfold and attempt to not program them with what we know and believe to be true as they carry their own truths with them from birth.
That would have been so far from the truth. Raising them alone, I know I did the best I could with the information I had and that is truly the best we can do. There could not be a “perfect” parenting manual because they all are so very different.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t attempt to steer them clear but even when you do that some have chosen the path they take because of what they came here to experience.
The children who have been born in the last ten years are truly in need of only guidance for those things that could be deemed as dangerous. We must allow the unfolding of these children as they are here to bring in the new awareness’ to the world.
We want to ensure that we fully allow them their journey even if to us, as parents, it seems like a terrible track that they have been drawn to take.
Generations to come are in need of our understanding at this time, that sometimes for things to change for the better, we may have to go through some tough times and tough things. Each generation from this point forward has their work cut out for them and all we need to be in the grand scheme of things is true guides.

PEACE IN TECHNOLOGY
Educational Opportunities Embrace, Understand, Love Technology By Tracey Allison
Technology offers more excitement and educational opportunities for our children than ever before! I remember my eldest son Max being just 6 years old when I sat down with his teacher, at a parents evening, at the end of his first term at school. As I understood, this particular teacher had been teaching a while and was pretty experienced within this very well respected school. On the flip side, for me personally, the whole school, parents evening and Key Stage 1 Curriculum thing was completely new to me so, naturally, wanting only the best for my child, I was prepared to hang on to every word this teacher said. That was, at least, right up until the point when she told me that my beautiful, amazing, well behaved son was the most least conscientious child she had ever known. She told me he lived in a world of his own and was highly likely not to amount to anything, without a huge amount of effort, because he just didn’t seem to want to learn!
At this point, her words became a bit of a blur as I tried to comprehend what I had just been told. A; was she even talking about the right child and B; who on earth did she think she was, condemning a 6 year old child to a life of nothing after knowing him for all of 10 minutes? I left the 5 minute meeting, which was sandwiched between two other sets of well intended parents, with my head in a spin and tears in my eyes wondering where, after giving up a promising career to look after the children at home, I had gone so very wrong.
15
By the time I got home, my eyes were literally streaming. Like every parent, I had nothing but high hopes for my children but, after listening to his teachers’ negative opinion of Max well, I felt as though I had just been hit by a steam train. I spent the rest of that evening Googling “conscientiousness” and how to improve it, how to stimulate your child and of course, whether or not it was my fault that he wasn’t as conscientious as he should be at 6! Quite honestly, the rest of that school year was a write off. Following that parents meeting I became anxious, worried, I put way too much pressure on Max to achieve and every single bit of my anxiety rubbed off on him. Believe me, I was more than glad to see the summer holidays arrive that year. During those long six weeks we spent quite a bit of time, as a family, out on our boat where Max would quite happily help to prepare for launch, help with navigating and he was always keen to help moor up again afterwards.
That’s when it hit me. We were all in holiday mode; we were relaxed, happy and unpressured and it was during this time, that as a now 7 year old, Max was showing more signs of being conscientious than I had ever done at his age. OK, he may not have been sitting at a desk learning his times tables or writing an essay, but he was learning. He was asking questions, he was showing a maturity way beyond his years, he was learning valuable life lessons and he was clearly happy. At the start of the following school year, I spoke to his new teacher, discussed my concerns about the previous year and we both agreed to keep a close eye on things during the coming school year. At the end of the first term, his new teacher expressed a concern in that whilst Max clearly wanted to learn, because of the speed at which they had to move through classes in order to cover the curriculum on time, there simply wasn’t enough time for Max to be able to dwell on topics in the way he wanted. So what was happening is that Max would want to think more deeply about a particular question, but the teacher would have to move on, leaving Max deep in thought about the previous question, thereby missing the next one and giving the impression that he was indeed in his own world. Thankfully, this particular teacher understood what was happening, but felt frustrated that she wasn’t able to accommodate Max any more than she was already doing. 16
This issue continued throughout his Primary years, because up against a comprehensive government issued curriculum there just simply wasn’t the time to allow students to explore topics in more depth. It was only when Max left Primary and went to Secondary School at age 11, that he finally came into his own. It was only there, that he was able to truly explore the world of learning to its full extent, to ask about and really discuss the ‘interesting stuff’ that he had had exposure to through his home life and his online research. He is now doing amazingly well, is in the top sets for everything and just loves the whole learning process. And that’s the thing. Kids love to learn. They want to learn and they want to ask questions. We as parents and teachers need to inspire them, not hold them back and to understand that each child will learn in their own way. There is no right or wrong way to learn. What works for one, might not work for another and thankfully, this understanding is now being embraced by the education system in order to bring out the best in each child.
As a parent myself, I have had to learn huge amounts about the way in which children learn and now, seven years later, I have been able to fully embrace my understanding and appreciate that in our age of technology, it is so very different to how it was for us. Our children today are so thirsty for information and the technology they have at their hands, which allows them to access this information, is simply mind blowing. Yes, it can be scary and we need to be aware of the dangers associated with the internet, but we also need to embrace it. I developed The Spelling Cafe Educational App for iPads, for this very reason. I have three boys, all of whom would rather be sailing a boat, surfing or playing MineCraft, in fact anything that doesn’t involve sitting down at a table and writing! That doesn’t mean to say that they don’t want to learn, it means that when they are learning, they want to do it in the way they know and that’s through technology and being hands on.
It is only now that I understand that Max struggled in the early days of school, because he wanted to know so much more than the education system would allow him at that age and that actually I didn’t let him down at all. I inspired him to love life, to want to achieve and to never be happy with half hearted answers. 17
The Spelling App also addresses the fact that it’s not just the little kids who need a bit of help with their spellings. Just because your child isn’t 7 anymore, doesn’t necessarily mean that they know their there from their there! Their obsession with all things technical and interactive quite often means that sitting down and learning spellings by writing them out over and over in the way we used to do, just doesn’t quite cut it anymore and learning becomes tedious. They want to be challenged and pushed and they want to know not just how to spell ‘champion’, for example, but how to pronounce it correctly, how to unravel it and how to put it in context to! The Spelling Cafe allows them to do this. It’s just that little bit cooler, it’s interactive and it embraces their need for technology. Please do go ahead and follow the link below to take a better look.
So, to summarise; just because we, as parents, learnt to add up by putting figures in a column and writing the answer underneath, doesn’t necessarily mean that that’s the only way. If your child finds it easier to add up using another method, let them! Let them learn in a way that feels comfortable to them and give them the space to do it. If this involves technology and an iPad, for part of it, so be it! As long as they are being inspired by you and they keep that love of life and learning, then they’ll get there in the end, in their own way and they might just surprise you along the way! Good luck, have fun and if you feel like you you’re still struggling a tad bit, always remember: “The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem!” Tracey Allison is the author of Noah’s Harbour and The Spelling Cafe Educational App. www.noahsharbour.com

PEACE IN EMOTIONS
Energy in Emotions Stop the Overwhelm and Worry h"p://youtu.be/fxanG9My49M
You can eat as green, as raw and as healthy as you want, but... if you are living “negative” emotions for many hours a day it’s going to eat at you, make you less effective as a parent and drain you of vital energy. Imagine what your life would look like if there was a powerful flow of positive emotions in your family? It’s up to you to make it happen!

PEACE IN SINGLE
Single Parenting Parents Need Energy, Kids Need Protection By Bernice Coles
Once upon a time in a land far away I was married. To be very frank, I married a man I didn’t know as well as I should have. We married hastily, and it showed. I made assumptions about him, and I would imagine he did the same of me. Often people turn out to be different than we expected. Before I knew it life fast forwarded and I was raising our three children by myself. I didn’t sign up to be a single parent. I never thought that would happen to me, but alas….it did. Our children are each two years apart. They are young adults now and not in my nest anymore. They have circled back a few times, but they’ve settled into their own lives. Sadly, their father died in September 2009, and I jokingly refer to myself as a di-widow (a divorced widow). Two parents need energy when they jointly raise children. When one parent is doing that tough job energy needs to come out of a facet like water. You need energy and your children need protection each and every day….just like water.
When it comes to energy a woman with a spouse or partner often complains that he doesn’t do enough to help with the children. Underneath it all, there may be less of a commitment if the couple is not married. The man may have other children he is financially responsible for and has to spend time with them too. Everything about parenthood requires energy. Your battery can run down, you can get dog tired.
20
Single parents need energy to work, and to earn money for their families. If the absence parent (in most cases the Dad) does not provide financial support that causes additional stress which is more of an energy drainer. Single parents have so many things to do. They have to work, shop, cook, clean house, maintain a car, pay bills, keep up with doctor and dentist appointments, provide haircuts and hair care for children, supervise school work, homework, and school projects, provide after school care, and summer camps, and holiday care or school break care when school is not in session. They have to manage parties and entertain, and watch what their children watch on TV and the Internet; they have to handle home repairs and maintenance. It’s a LOT. It’s a jungle out there, and single parents are often left to fend for themselves. I was one of the very, very blessed single parents because my mother and aunt helped out with my children when they could. I had friends and coworkers who helped here and there.
I had a child with special emotional needs and it took a lot to deal with his challenges in school and the community. I remember once being so literally exhausted I crawled up the steps on my hands and knees and dragged myself into my bed. I think my children may have had cereal for dinner that night. Their father didn’t go a good job of protecting them at all. They have emotional baggage they have carried with them into young adulthood by the mere absence of their father. The role of the father is to protect and guide. My children missed that lesson. My oldest son was four years old when his father walked out on us. There was no talking to him, and no reason given. He just didn’t want to be with us anymore. He even had the nerve to move several states away and lived in another time zone. He was distant and fighting his own demons. There was no protection from him on any front. He didn’t come to visit. He didn’t send extra money. He sent cheesy birthday gifts for the children. It was really sad. Fathers have a great deal of influence and they guide children into making good choices. They provide emotional protection and security if they do their job right. They provide protection and love in a way a mother cannot. I never tried to be their Dad; those shoes were too big for me to fill. 21
I had a hard enough time just being me, the single mother of three children.
There are 13 million single parent families in the United States.
There are several components in a person’s life that a father can influence.
That’s a lot of people who struggle on a daily basis to find the energy and provide the protection when it’s missing or threaten.
Children have a social, financial, intellectual side of them and more. Fathers can protect their children by giving them guidelines to follow in all of these areas of life. I often think of it like this: A strong man, a strong family. Strong families, a strong community. Strong communities, a strong state. Strong states, a strong nation, Strong nations, a strong world. We've lost a lot as a whole with the breakdown of the family. We see what this erosion has costs us, and it’s cost a lot. We’ve now grown a world where people don’t know who they are.
I met my birthfather when I was 50 years old! However, I was raised with my mother and my step-father. I’m thankful for the parents I have, and the resilience, resourcefulness and the respect that I managed to hold on to as a single parent. Being a single parent surely is not for the faint of heart. If you are a single parent, do the best you can, take it easy on yourself, converse your energy when you can and look for ways to comfort your children and be present for them each and every day.
They often lack purpose. They look for love in all the wrong places, and they have what I call a hole in their soul because they backbone of the family was missing in the form of a father in many cases.

PEACE IN TRUTH
Young Alive & Aware Parents Want to Understand Youth By Mandisa Mndela
Vibrant and spirited, teens are challenging adults with their out of the box thinking. Yet often the youth do not have the opportunity to grow and develop positively in all areas of life nor spiritually, mentally and emotionally. My upcoming online coaching program offers teenagers and young adults an environment that sustains self love, personal responsibilty and encourages youth to have a strong, firm voice to be heard. In the program teens and young adults mingle and network, share creativity, discuss life issues, open to the concerns and uncertainties of the future. They are then supported by global experts in the fields of personal development and communication to gain the skills to
manage both their freedom as future adults and their professional choices. Growing up does not have to be a struggle for teens or for their parents. Parents are also invited to participate in a a program to learn how to move forward with this generation and create solid communication. Together they make dreams come true by standing in their unique truths.

PEACE IN THOUGHTS
h"p://youtu.be/01Ku42Fh0mY
Energy in Thoughts What you Think is Written on Your Face Thoughts are energy and give off vibes that influence those around you. It is difficult not to have your thoughts be “seen” by others. If you think tragic thoughts it “infects” others to be wary and afraid. If you think happy thoughts then your joyful energy spreads to others.

PEACE IN AFFIRMATION
The Energy of “I Am� Affirming Life not Denying Life By Heather Buzzard
Are you Affirming your Life or denying your Life? With one, you will experience life as joy, peace, love, & harmony. With the other you will experience your hell on earth of anger, frustration, separation, & denial. With either choice you will be molding and shaping your life to how you see fit and your experiences will follow your thoughts. I AM, are great statements of Truth Affirming. I believe anything that follows those two words has to be manifested, for what I hold in my mind, is the key to manifestation, what you think, and what you speak is what you create in your life. If I am always affirming what it is that I can't, don't, or will not do, then that is what will manifest in your life. The Key is Consciousness. I AM remembering the longer that I travel this path that the more conscious I AM the easier my life flows, the more trusting I AM, the healthier I AM, there is more peace, joy, happiness, and love flowing in and through me to others in a more consistent manner.
As I walk this path and choose to go deeper within myself I truly am witnessing and experiencing life coming to me, things, and people showing up right on time, and things working out for the good of all. Every - Body is telling their own stories. What is your body telling about you? Does your body affirm life with you or does your body function in a way where you are experiencing sickness, aches, and pains? What are you Affirming daily? Is it positive or negative about you, your body, and your circumstances?
26
BEING a big believer that you create your life by what you speak it only makes sense that as you become more conscious you become more aware of what your speaking, what your doing, and what you are thinking. Eventually you will get to a point where you will experience your behaviour lining up with your words, and once there, you are well on your way to making this a lifestyle. It can be done, I AM proof of it. I feel, the energy cycle has changed. We have new planets in position and a new energy coming from them. I believe we have a softer more feminine energy coming down and because of that, men will find and draw out their compassionate sides and this world will find a balance, as the world needs both the male electric principle and the female magnetic principal to balance life and truly make it work.
I feel a new Cultural Story will be born as well. A story where we tell our little ones that they can be, do, and have whatever they choose, and that life is all about CHOICES, and that they are free to choose and experience any or all of it if they wish. I see parents being parents and NOT reliving their lives through their children. I see a world in which Unity is our guiding principal and being "your brother's keeper" is more than words. The only way we will get to this type of world is through each one of us, and that will happen as soon as we all choose to experience ......AFFIRMING LIFE, AND NOT DENYING LIFE ... now the choice is YOURS.

PEACE IN SOLUTIONS
Technology Temptations Removing Distractions for Teen Drivers By Richard Barrier
Families, friends, acquaintances, neighbors & virtual strangers are all affected when an accident or death occurs due to Distracted Driving. The empty chair at the dinner table, the graduation that will never happen, the dreams that will never be fulfilled…all because of technology & it’s temptations. Teenagers think they are invincible, that bad things can’t possibly happen to them. Like texting & driving - - - what’s the big deal? Distracted Driving has become a dangerous epidemic on America’s roadways! In 2009, over 5,500 people died from Distracted Driving & 1/3 of those deaths were attributed directly to texting while driving according to the NHTSB. I created the Android phone app TXT ME L8R as a solution to this ever growing problem. TXT ME L8R is simple to use, customizable & easy to set up on your teenager’s phone. It simply removes the temptation to check for texts, Facebook statuses, tweets, etc…by locking the phone from presenting them to you until your car is no longer moving.
The app automatically responds for you by sending a message to the sender saying “TXT ME L8R – I’m Driving”. In the event that the phone goes over the maximum speed limit an email is sent to the parent with the speed, time & location of the phone. It’s not just teens; adults are guilty of Distracted Driving as well. TXT ME L8R has a pledge page on their website TXTMEL8R.com for parents. Because they have put TXTMEL8R on their teenager’s phone the parent also pledges to not text & drive making them accountability partners.
29
h"p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNg5j2IESE&feature=youtu.be
At a selected “texting speed limit” while the phone is moving the TXT ME L8R app will block the phone’s ability to send or receive text messages or use any of the apps on the phone. There is an exception list of apps from the phone that can be de-selected from a list of all apps that will be disabled while the phone is moving.

Is the relationship with a loved one on the rocks or going under? It’s hard to fix a relationship if you don’t know what really went wrong. It’s hard to stop being defensive, criticizing and stonewalling the other person. It’s hard to start feeling the love and connection you really want.
If it’s worth it to you save it before it’s too late! Are you willing to take the first step?
