"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."~John 8:32There have been millions of quotations written and spoken by brilliant minds. Many capturing wisdom about life and how we can best go about living it. For me, these words from Jesus would be at the very top of the list. He is offering in thirteen words a profound insight into ourselves and the great life available to us, but seldom lived by most. His words capture the design woven into our being from millions of years of evolution. A design in which we are able to resonate with truth and free to live the great life. If only we're willing to seek and know it. If only we're willing to seek the truth about what we really need to know about God, ego, and ourselves. If only we're willing to unlearn so much non-truth we have been taught and which we have taught ourselves about each of these.

During a profound healing, spiritual gifts began to open. I began a very serious practice of meditation, breathing and increasing my personal energy. Certified in equine massage therapy, I was called to work on a horse, only problem was he would not let me touch him. I had to find another way. Through meditation I connected with him and his herd, a whole new world opened. I found myself being mentored by horses, seeing, and experiencing them in a completely different way. I began to question everything and meditate for extended periods of time over the next few years. Surrendering to Source, to the best of my ability, it opened me up to an entirely new world of possibilities and adventures. Leading me down a path of self-discovery and truth. Realizing that I had been living a life of lies, completely upside down. Love wasn't what I thought it was and I had to learn how to love myself like never before, for the first time. It came with a price, having to face my demons, experiencing the dark nights of the soul which lasted weeks.I had to start again after losing everything, including my mind, to find me. I had to take my power back. I am now driven with purpose to create a new life for myself, not settling for anything less that love, respect, and honor.

In the fall of 1907, Teddy Roosevelt occupied the oval office, the Cubs won the World Series, the Lusitania made her maiden voyage, and Oklahoma was admitted as the Union's 46th state. Amidst all this, life in the rural farming community of LaFontaine, Indiana was calm and serene-until it wasn't. Sarah, the matriarch of the Whitcome clan, leans on her faith in God and draws from her reservoir of wisdom to help her husband, Doctor Ben Adams, their children, and neighbors navigate the triple dramas of mystery, murder, and matrimony. The continuing saga of life in the close-knit small town will have you laughing at the antics of the children and quirky townsfolk while, at times, reaching for a handkerchief to commiserate as they struggle over loss and grief.

The literal definition of congruence is, "agreement or harmony; compatibility". The purpose of this manual is to help children, teens, and adults learn and practice the skills to foster living in congruence with the self. True congruence with the self is when there is harmony between the heart, mind, and body. When all things are working congruently there is a level of inner awareness and self - confidence that is formed. Living in congruence produces the feeling of "living in the zone", "living in the flow".Learning to live in congruence with one's self has proven to decrease anxiety, promotes emotional self-regulation, improve moods, enhances effective communication, fosters emotional intelligence (motivation, empathy, self-awareness, social skills, and self-reflection), and provides a sense of balance and inner peace to the individual. The exercises outlined in this manual are targeted to enhance awareness of breath, body sensations, thoughts, feelings, behavior, and to foster shaping positively intended core beliefs. Research has supported that teaching children and adolescents the skills outlined in this curriculum and by practicing these skills daily; academic performance improves, anxiety among students decreases, overall moods improve, bully - like behaviors decrease, attentiveness and concentration increases, resiliency improves, students demonstrate an enhanced ability to manage stress, the use of effective communication styles are enhanced, students are more self - aware of themselves and others, and the ability to self - regulate emotions improve. Furthermore, learning and practicing these skills has demonstrated a positive effect on stimulation to certain parts of the brain (evidenced by functional M.R.I's and observations) that are responsible for emotional self-regulation, impulse control, attention, and appropriate social development. Building and maintaining a congruent relationship between the heart and brain supports living in harmony with ones self and enhances that ability to trust their intuition.

Each page encourages your child to draw and write about their emotions, allowing them to feel deeply with all of their senses.
