All They Need Is Love (Ba Ba Duh Da Da…)
Yeah, the Beatles song is trailing through my head right now. But that's not what I want to talk about. When you are struggling as a parent, no matter WHAT the situation or circumstance, ask yourself "What is my highest intention with my children?"

I believe this is one of the greatest aspirations for any parent: TO LOVE MY CHILD NO MATTER WHAT. It's not so easy at times! This is just a reminder to ask what LOVE would do, when you feel yourself spinning out of control. Then, do that. Even if it contradicts what you did 2 minutes...
