Finding Joy in Motherhood, Janet Quinlan

Sibling rivalry is jealousy, competition and or fighting between brothers and sisters. Some experts say that sibling rivalry comes from children competing for their parent’s love.

Procrastination makes you feel overwhelmed and incapable of taking charge of your life which, in turn, destroys your self-confidence.  But when you say no to the short, immediate negative feeling of taking charge of your life, making the right decision to do the thing that needs to be done at the time you scheduled, THAT will make you feel strong, competent, and capable.

This isn’t just about keeping your house clean; it’s about forming the human spirit in virtue. The chores are simply the vehicle for deeper more important lessons and growth- Why is clearing the table or sweeping the floor so important to child’s well-being? One reason is that children feel competent when they do their chores.  They feel capable. When we see it that way, we can see the importance...

Why do we feel unfulfilled? Maybe it’s because we’re not all in - where we are isn’t where God wants us. Or maybe we’re not all in because where God wants us isn’t where we want to be. And rather than asking the question, “What does God want of me?” we stay stuck in the feeling of unfulfilled. We feel unfulfilled because we haven’t embraced God’s plan for us. We’ve tried to create our own plan. We...

Many people think that a boundary is a way of controlling someone else.  But that’s not really what a boundary does.   We can never control other people’s actions, feelings, or thoughts. But we can set up requests or boundaries that if not honored there will be consequences on our part.
