The message I got from you post is BALANCE, its amazing how many things you have going on in your life and yet you maintain a spiritual focus through daily prayer. Daily prayer keeps us humble, focused, and most importantly thankful! Thanks for your reminder and insightfulness:)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962228326018534604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22118589.post-58676563201470607702008-02-06T09:25:00.000-08:002008-02-06T09:25:00.000-08:00Franz,I do want to have another one.

It's one of the happiest, yet most grueling adjustments you'll ever make to your life becoming a new parent. <BR/><BR/>And don't forget to make use of those you trust when it comes to raising Marianna. It really does take a village to raise a child, my friend.<BR/><BR/>I'll be looking forward to seeing you soon!

I have been exactly where you are and perhaps even worse in terms of sleep deprivation and stress from work as well as less than ideal nutrition. Drop me a line sometime and I'll share what i have learned. I have not been sick (not even the sniffles) in over two years! I have two little ones at home, work in health car (constantly exposed to sick people and bugs) and still don't get enough sleep.<BR/><BR/>I applaud your self reflection, humility and willingness to trust in God's wisdom. HE sends his messages through other people often times. best to you, Yoana and your new child.<BR/><BR/>Namaste.Tommy Shookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088713975528460913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22118589.post-13736648614647847862008-01-29T19:46:00.000-08:002008-01-29T19:46:00.000-08:00Indeed I will be in attendance at the RKC.

Now the challenge is to put it into action and turn it in to real world wisdom. this alone will have a much larger impact on not only you, Yoanna and marianna but all those you encounter such as your clients and of course family and friends. <BR/><BR/>It is refreshing to see you dig deep, analyze your life and attempt to find ways to better yourself. I really like #2 because I have never truly found money to bring me happiness. Yes, it adds but for me what I love to do and brings me the greatest peace for my soul does not cost much of anything. <BR/><BR/>Balance and moderation really can work and for me they do. I hope you can balance and moderate all ten of your tool sharpeners this year, day and day out. <BR/><BR/>Nice piece of coaching and teaching. thank you for the positive and thought provoking piece<BR/><BR/>Blessings BrotherJoe Sartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730922689220976568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22118589.post-77237020651544465072008-01-29T13:26:00.000-08:002008-01-29T13:26:00.000-08:00Great post Franz.
