Listening to your kids

Sometimes as parents we don't listen to our kids enough and interrupt them while they talk. Shut up for a moment. You don't like when people interrupt you so don't do it to them. Put your phone down, computer off, TV off, and other devices off while your child or teen is talking to you. Give them your undivided attention. They need to be heard even if it is the smallest thing. Let them get it off their chest. Listen to them and don't just hear them. Ask how that makes them feel and maybe what they would like to go differently. Start listening.

Haunted Plantation

 Haunted Plantation  This Halloween my friends and I are going to a haunted plantation house that is abandoned. It is located in the Bayou in Louisiana.  It is 5 days before Halloween.  My friends and I love old haunted buildings.  We have been buying supplies when we aren't going to our college classes.  We go to old abandoned buildings and investigate the back story of the history of each location.  On our investigations we record and make videos that we upload to our social media accounts which has started gaining traction over the years.

Not everyone is for you

 Some people in life aren't meant for you. You will constantly have people coming and going in and out of your life. Not everyone is made for you. That is okay. Do not blame yourself for others actions.  Sometimes it isn't that they are bad people.  There are times people just grow apart.  Sometimes you lose contact to not ever hear from them again.  Others it is a learning experience. There are ones who don't respect boundaries.  Others might use you. The ones who prey and take advantage of you. Some who lie. Others who walk all over you.  Don't change to fit in. Don't bow down to others. Don't think you deserve bad because you don't deserve bad. Let people have their opinion of you and ignore them. Keep being the best you for you. There are good people in a world full of hate.
