A journal of daily lessons that I am learning and passing on as a result of writing and selling my books as well as being an employer.

Grown folks know they shouldn't lie. We are adults and should be accountable for our actions. If we do or say something, please have the courage to admit it. Just have the decency to stand up for what you say. No wonder our children and teens are struggling with doing the right thing! Geez!
THANK YOU! This has become one of my pet peeves recently. Don't deflect. Don't make it about me or whomever is calling you out. Don't get defensive. You (insert Pobble expletive here) lied. That's not *my* fault and it's not my fault you got busted.
*sigh*
Can you tell this is a sensitive subject for me these days. Sorry if I got a bit...passionate.
ONE of the most positive things I love about my kids is that they'd suffer any consequence before they'd lie to you, they've always been that way. They are, and always have been, my role models. :)
I am an author and newspaper columnist. I love writing in all forms. I have been married 24 years and have one daughter. I have written five books but I'm most proud of "Backroom Confessions" and "A Hole in My Heart". I co authored "A Hole in My Heart" with my then fourteen year old nephew. Although I work full time I also own two companies, one is a non-profit organization and the other is a for profit business.

This can solve so many problems.
And thanks Rose for stopping by fairies playground. BTW, you have a standing invitation to come to the place.
