I am a friend of Christie's and that is "her laugh" - kind of like her trademark... It is really fun to talk to Christie and be around her because her laugh bubbles out all of the time! Sometimes she's right in the middle of a sentence and her laugh just comes out! It always makes me smile and it's kind of contagious :) Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:27:01 +0000 http://www.loveorabove.com/blog/connecting-with-your-higher-self-for-guidance-and-problem-solving/#IDComment58658640 http://www.loveorabove.com/blog/how-your-judgement-effects-your-manifestations-and-your-reality/#IDComment57499491 Christie, This is one of my favorite articles from you! I think because it resonates so much with what I was going through after my divorce. I was at a low place in my life and had just sold my business and everyone was telling me to buy a house, settle back down, get a job. But what I really wanted was to travel and start a new business - and even though I had proven multiple times before that I was capable of starting a successful business, my family and friends were still saying it was too risky and I should just get a job and have some stability!! But I realized that those comments were their judgments and viewpoints showing up... So you can imagine their dismay when I announced that not only was I going to start a new business - but it was going to be in a field I had little knowledge of, I would have to use my own money to do it and I would have to travel around the world to do it! LOL So I just want to give testament to what you are saying here, because in the end, I held the belief that I was capable of building an amazing business that I love - though others had differing viewpoints, mine was the one that ended up creating my reality :) Thanks for taking the time to share your amazing knowledge and wisdom with us! I look forward to more of your posts!

I think it is nice, especially for older kids as it is a way of establishing boundaries without confrontation. Thanks for this tip - I will start using it with my 9 year old! Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:56:18 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/what-image-are-your-kids-creating-for-themselves-online/#IDComment52748002 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/whats-will-got-to-do-with-it/#IDComment52312997 You Are Welcome! And your post reminded me of one of my favorite quotes: "Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living." Anais Nin Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:57:38 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/whats-will-got-to-do-with-it/#IDComment52312997 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/whats-will-got-to-do-with-it/#IDComment52312343 Agreed! They are both blessed to have each other! Thanks for your comment - I too found this inspiring :) Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:50:36 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/whats-will-got-to-do-with-it/#IDComment52312343 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/the-value-of-work-money/#IDComment52300405 I will do some research on it this week - so look for a post early next week. :) Thanks for the suggestion! I am glad to hear from you all and to know the topics you are interested in. M Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:13:23 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/the-value-of-work-money/#IDComment52300405 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/the-5-things-we-forget-to-teach-our-kids/#IDComment52300186 I agree, much of job as parents and educators is to UNteach... and help remind and validate the things our children are born knowing, but we have forgotten along the way. :) M Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:10:21 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/the-5-things-we-forget-to-teach-our-kids/#IDComment52300186 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/the-5-things-we-forget-to-teach-our-kids/#IDComment52300080 Tim, I totally agree with you - I think we allow our kids to create within OUR parameters. For example, they can color between black lines we put on a piece of paper for them, or they can build with a set of blocks we gave them... but what would happen if we asked them to make a picture of something, without using crayons and paper, then gave them access to anything they needed to let their imaginations run wild? Or if they had to build a fort using only objects they found in the garage? I think it would be amazing the things they came up with if we let them out of OUR box :) And teaching them to be happy - I'd paste that across my blog in every article if I could! Thanks for your post! Melissa Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:08:30 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/the-5-things-we-forget-to-teach-our-kids/#IDComment52300080 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/8-powerful-healing-tools/#IDComment51988667 You're welcome! I use tip 8 all of the time... Especially when I get frustrated, I imagine breathing a beautiful pink mist and immediately fell better :) Also, my 9 year old, Maddy uses Balloon Breath when she gets upset, it helps her to calm down and express herself better. Good luck and have a great New Year!

LOL, I had Maddy when I was 20 and I had such a bad habit of dropping the f-bomb back then! It took me a good 6 months do break that habit!! I was so glad her first was "dada" and not some other 4 letter word! :) Thanks for your post and have a great 2010!! Melissa Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:19:06 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/tell-me-your-parenting-resolutions-for-2010/#IDComment51988305 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/do-kids-hear-the-message-or-just-the-roar/#IDComment51988098 Hey Cristina! My girls are much older than yours - 7 and 9 and the more I treat them with respect and like they have a mind of their own, the better they respond. When I try to become the dictator or force anything from the place of "I am the adult - you are the child - I know more, better, etc" then they close down and become defensive. I agree with your comment that parents shouldn't follow my advise or anyone else's blindly - this blog is about discussion and providing resources and ideas. I hope that people take away what they like, leave what they don't or modify it to fit their own family. And thanks for your tip :) My girls and I have an agreement -- because we have such a blessed and amazing life, we get to travel and see the world and have great adventures and many of these trips are work related ones that I take them on with me - so in return, whenever I have a work phone call, they are respectful of that time because they know that my work is what makes this lifestyle possible. Skype is a blessing for me because it allows me to work from anywhere - even airports and now on planes too (actually, I was disappointed when airplanes came out with internet on flights, because I now feel like I have to work on the flights :( instead of just enjoying the down time as I used to). And the funny thing was that call at the Dubai airport was with Todd Herman, the guy I did the Interview "2 Bedtime Questions" with... and I was lucky that it was him because he is really great at working with kids and changing their attitude and mindset, and he gave me a great idea on family goal setting that helped pass the rest of the time at the airport :) So, thanks for taking time to share your post with us and thanks for being part of our community!!

Thanks for your tips and I really do agree about kids friendly airlines. We fly Emirates a lot and they do a great job of taking care of the kids, bringing them presents and activities and they make great kids meals (I confess - when the girls sleep through the meals - I eat them!) LOL thanks for your comments and for being part of the GiftED Community! Take care, Melissa Thu, 14 Jan 2010 05:53:10 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/do-kids-hear-the-message-or-just-the-roar/#IDComment51986601 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/so-what-does-indigo-really-mean-then/#IDComment51652097 I will be recording it this week and then posting the audio for you to listen to... :) Melissa Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:50:49 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/so-what-does-indigo-really-mean-then/#IDComment51652097 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/2-questions-you-must-ask-at-bedtime/#IDComment51481661 Thank you Todd! I have been using these questions with my girls and it is so fun to hear what they have to say - you see patterns start to form and their own unique and personal interests start to show up in their responses... Thank you so much for sharing these 2 important questions with us! Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:44:26 +0000 http://www.projectgifted.com/blog/2-questions-you-must-ask-at-bedtime/#IDComment51481661
