Lorraine’s Parent Blog
It’s so good to be back. I just finished recuperating from my recent speaking tour on the Mainland, and boy was it exciting and a blessing. I met so many wonderful new people and parents who are so interested in doing the ‘Right Parent Thing.’ I am always inspired when I complete one of these tours, but this time I was particularly inspired by the turnouts of committed parents. Thank you to all of you who came to hear me speak and attended my workshops.
My son, Mark, actually contributed to 2 of my workshops. He answered questions from a boy’s point of view for The Closeness You Crave Coaching Program, which served to be VERY helpful and insightful. He also appeared at Design the Family You Want Day-Long Transformational Workshop and spoke for an hour while Sadie Lorraine, my 2 year old granddaughter, enjoyed walking me all around the room and exploring with her. Participants were rather ‘spell-bound’ by Mark. Here’s this hulking 29 year old takes over my class, saying whatever he feels led to say, and giving VERY valuable insights, and answering parenting questions honestly, candidly and unguardedly. For those of you who missed it, it’s rather amazing to hear him say the good, the not-so-good and the surprising about his and my parent-child journey, and how he’s raising his own children.
Could there be anything more wonderful than my own son contributing to my programs? It takes me back to our Aptos dining room when he was just 16 and he said he wanted to help me write my book about showing parents how to create a close relationship with their children like we’d managed together. This is a beautiful full circle for me.
I’m also very proud to introduce 2 very special ladies to you. Julie Dickie of Kona will be assisting me with daily details of the Parenting Evolution and Sanya Texiera of Kona will handle web stuff, marketing and campaigns. I feel very blessed to have this new team on board. I will be heading off into the rivers and channels of serving you with my “God-downloads,” and Sanya and Julie will make it possible by freeing up my energy so I can tap in to the Source and serve you in new and heightened ways. I look forward to seeing what will evolve now that I’ve freed up my brain. Thank you, Julie and Sanya for making this shift possible.
All for now. Check out my free teleclass tomorrow and I can’t wait to connect with you!
All my love and Aloha, Lorraine
