Are you wondering if you are enabling your adult child? These five signs will help you to determine whether or not you are helping or hurting. "Enabling" means that your action allows someone to continue to do something they otherwise couldn't do without it. It is also doing something for others that they should be doing for themselves.

Do you often consider how much time and energy you give to your family but never give to yourself? Do you feel you're constantly attending to the needs of others but never your own? Many mums feel their role is solely to care for their family but you cannot do this without looking after your own needs as well. Have you thought about what could happen to your family if you burn out, become unwell or even start to resent what you have?

One in three
dads rely on phone calls to stay in touch with son -
Half of modern day dads (50 per cent) believe father and son bonding time is
fast becoming a thing of the past with 53 per cent agreeing that face to face
time between fathers and sons is at an all time low.
New research out today from Bandai, toy manufacturer behind Ben 10, shows that
nearly half (48 per cent) of fathers cited working late as one of the main
reasons why they don’t spend more time with their son, whilst 35 per cent of
dads also admitted to working at the weekend. One in three (68 per cent) of
fathers revealed that the pressures of work now are greater than ever before
with over half (55 per cent) admitting to spending more time in the office than
two years ago. 44 per cent said that they were often too tired and exhausted

The Dance of those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be defined as the projective-identification and transference of their identity to the extent that they do not know it on to someone else. What does this mean? It means that when the borderline in your life is sad, or hurt or afraid, rather than feel those feelings, as the non-borderline would, the borderline will turn on you in an effort to have you hold, act out and be the very feelings that they cannot hold, handle or cope with. It is a subconscious way to have mirrored back to self all that one feels but refuses to feel. It is essentially, the borderline trying to put distance between him or herself and his/her own unresolved and abandoned pain.

Weight loss has become a major concern among most ladies. Between taking care
of the kids and ensuring effective management of the family, it seems that we
are the most over-weight population. Notwithstanding, most of us have also tried
several workout programs, from dancing with Richard Simmons on the TV to
registering for a workout program in the gym center.
However, going through the hard work involved with these programs for a few
days and watching the response of your body system, it is easy to lose
enthusiasm and wonder if a miracle will happen. But all hope is not lost yet. A
lot of people have found a great difference between taking a routine workout
program and engaging in an effective outdoor activity. While the former will
sometimes be boring and render you very weak, the later is all fun, will boost
your spirit and you will also enjoy it while you lose a lot of calorie in the
process.

Award-winning American plus-size designer brand
IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel,
http://www.igigi.com, has launched The Art of Fashion in Motion campaign, a
trailblazer montage of color, movement, and art inspired by the great
revolutionary abstract expressionists like Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Lee
Krasner.
The Art of Fashion in Motion is a strong visual extension of the company’s
more-than-a-decade long mission to transform the world’s view of beauty. The Art
of Fashion in Motion is to the plus-size fashion world what the contribution of
these revolutionaries has been to the art world; a groundbreaking, exciting and
out-of-this-world approach to the way we perceive plus-size women and fashion.
In a visual feast that tells the story of wearable art designs, plus-size model
Kailee O’Sullivan appears as a woman of multiples facades. She is a canvas of
seductively moving curves where fashion and art merge as one to create a truly
eye-opening campaign for an industry that is still believed to be stuck in the
time of the muumuus.

These rigid thought patterns actually trap people in the active throes of Borderline Personality Disorder until and unless they get professional help to begin to learn how to think beyond the distorted and constricted magical thinking of a primitive concept of "self" and "other". The all-or-nothing, black-and-white, cognitively distorted thoughts that are a hallmark of Borderline Personality Disorder begin in early childhood and are compounded over time resulting in people with BPD, in adulthood, being triggered back to past unresolved psychological woundedness that has its center in what I refer to as the core wound of abandonment.

Did you grow up believing that if only someone REALLY loved you in the way you needed to be loved, then you would feel happy, safe, lovable and worthy?
Certainly being truly loved by parents goes a long way toward supporting children in feeling safe and lovable, but it is not the whole story. Even if your parents did love you the way you needed to be loved, if they didn’t role-model loving themselves, then it is likely you absorbed their forms of self-abandonment – judging themselves, turning to various addictions to manage their feelings, and making others responsible for their feelings and sense of worth.

I grew up with a very angry mother who would attack me out of the blue. As a highly sensitive only child, the fear and heartbreak of being treated so unlovingly was unbearable. So rather than feel the hurt, I numbed it out by learning to stay in my head rather than being present in my body, and by focusing on caretaking others' feelings. The only way I could survive was to not know that I was being so hurt.

There are tons of watch models out there with a lot of exciting features, but navigating the exact specifications for each timepiece can be a pain. With a little bit of know-how (aka this article!) watch hunting can become more exciting than shoe shopping. After all, how many pairs of shoes have diamond accents?

Ah the teenage years. They creep up on parents out of nowhere, and explode with a hard slap of reality in the face, usually in the form of moody behavior, snide comments, and flurries of rolled eyes. Children who once worshiped and idolized their parents suddenly recoil at the thought spending time with them or listening to anything they say. The teenage years can be a particularly turbulent time for mums and their daughters, and many mums, forgetting how difficult their own teenage years were, scratch their heads and wonder: why are teenage girls so difficult?

Helplessness is a very difficult feeling. It can even feel like life or death to those of us who were left to cry for hours as babies, with no one coming to help us. Because we were so helpless over ourselves as babies and small children, it can trigger feelings of panic.

A milestone that many around the world set out to one day accomplish, should
only be accompanied by the best and personalized ideas. Not only should they be
memorable but personalized, so they can incorporate the dynamic resemblance and
atmosphere of that special memory. Whom ever plans for the occasion should
always take into consideration the time needed for planning and following up
with contacts, time and availability is very scarce and if it will include
family and friends, using the right communication is essential for accommodating
those who have been near and dear in the couples personal life.
Personalization is the key in making this moment a true milestone, for every
couple has a distinctive and different experience; even though they all share
the joy of memories bestowed upon them that day. It should be no exception that
this 50th wedding anniversary goes without joy and warmth in the hearts to the

A Problem with Today's Parenting

There was an interesting article in The Atlantic, entitled "How to Land Your Kid in Therapy: Why the obsession with our kids' happiness may be dooming them to unhappy adulthoods. A therapist and mother reports."
The article is about the way many parents focus much of their energy on being there for their children, but their children end up feeling lost and empty.
One of the issues I've written about extensively is that half of good parenting is being there for our children, and the other half is being there for ourselves. This article says nothing about parents becoming loving role models of personal responsibility for filling their own emptiness. In fact, these parents, who are obsessed with their kids' happiness, are likely addicted to filling themselves up through their children - not a healthy situation.
This article validates what Inner Bonding is all about - learning how to take responsibility for your own feelings. The problem with these lost adults is that their parents always took responsibility for them, rather than role-modeling how to fill themselves up.
Feeling lost and empty is the result of a lack of love. As the cartoon drawing shows, these kids received an abundance of love from their parents. But they never learned how to fill themselves with love through a personal source of spiritual guidance. They never learned how to access their own higher self to guide them in what is loving to themselves, so they end up feeling lost.

How do I stop my dog barking?
It's a question the majority of canine owners will have pondered at some point. The thing is, all dogs bark to some degree. It's their main method of communication with us humans and in many ways you should be more worried if your canine chum is completely silent. However, if your dog is barking excessively and seemingly for no reason, then you're right to want to do something about it. Not only can barking get pretty tiresome for you and your household (not to mention the nosey
neighbors), but may well be the sign of a more serious underlying problem.
Here are some general pointers to keep in mind – but of course if you're in any doubt, the vet should always be your first port of call.

Why Do We Celebrate Thanksgiving?

In the United States of America, citizens celebrate the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving. As a legally recognized holiday, government and schools close in recognition of this day. Families meet to feast together and watch football. While the traditional turkey dinner mimics the intent of the original Thanksgiving meal, many celebrants question why we celebrate the holiday.
To discover why the entire country celebrates Thanksgiving, one must travel back in time to September 1620. Pilgrims wishing to escape religious persecution in Europe sailed to the New World in 1620. With the intention to land in the colony of Virginia, their ship The Mayflower instead headed north and landed on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in November 1620.
Faced immediately with winter’s inclement weather, the Pilgrims were unable to
erect shelters or plant food. Half of this zealot community sacrificed their
lives that first, harsh winter. Miraculously, a Native American rescued the
Pilgrims in 1621. Samoset and English speaking Squanto taught the surviving
Pilgrims how to hunt wildlife and plant corn. In October of 1621, the Pilgrims
harvested their crops. To celebrate their gratitude, the settlers invited the
Indians to join them for a three-day feast. With thanksgiving to Almighty God
for His blessings and the abundant harvest, the community surrounding Plymouth
generously shared the bounty they grew, trapped, and caught.

Camp Trillium encourages Canadians to visit Septembering.ca and create a ring of support during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
We live in a world where people are more interconnected than ever before.
Through online communities, one person’s story reaches far and wide. So how do
you harness those connections to build awareness for a worthy cause?
Camp Trillium is an
Ontario organization that has provided help and activities for children with
cancer and their parents for more than 27 years. They’ve just launched
Septembering.ca in
honour of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, an innovative way to raise

donations on behalf of family or friends that benefit children with cancer and
improve the quality of their lives.

and their families to escape from the outside world, develop life-long
friendships, and create magical memories.

New Poll Commissioned by the Quaker® brand Reveals 86 per cent of Canadian Teachers Believe Hunger Negatively Affects Students’ Ability to Learn
They may have pencils and books, but hundreds of thousands of Canadian kids
may be going back to school this fall without an essential tool to help them
be their very best: a nutritious breakfast.
Statistics Canada reports that more than 700,000 children live in
households that don’t have access to enough food. Comparably, Food Banks Canada reports that nearly 900,000 people rely on the assistance of a
food bank in order to have enough to eat each month. Thirty-eight per cent of
those assisted are children. Half of the 370,000 households helped by food
banks are families with children.

Keeping the Flame Alive Doesn’t Have to be Expensive
Often, people will groan when they hear the word “budget,” generally because it is billed as a financial strategy that is difficult to stick to. The truth is that budgeting can be simple. It’s a great way to keep one’s finances in line and still have fun, whether single or as part of a couple. Those who are watching their pennies might not often dine on lobster and French champagne or buy the latest and most popular technological gadgets, but fear not.
