Moms; I want to share with you an excerpt from a new book by Katy Ireland called "Real Solutions for Busy Moms."
"When you and the rest of your family are happy, your day goes more smoothly, your problems are resolved more quickly, and your life flows like a fresh and beautiful spring. As world champion boxer and entrepreneur George Foreman has said, "You just can't beat ol' happy." Happiness is something we all desperately want and need."

Moms, we live in an age where the average mom can be described best as a Jugglers! Today we have many balls in the air. Our faith, our husbands, our children, our careers, our education, our friends, and our homes. It takes a lot of practice, advice, and focus to ensure that all balls remain up in the air, and maintain perfect speed and distance and sometimes we need an extra hand to keep things smooth.
Each one of our responsibilities requires our full attention! If we loose sight of one ball, we run the risk of loosing the others in an effort to keep the one from finding a tragic end.
Kathy Ireland said something that struck a cord, "Happiness is something we all desperately want and need." As I have worked on my Ph.D at Texas A & M University, I have worked hard to ensure that my children and husband receive the necessary touch points needed to achieve this happiness. Happiness is a necessary part of our over all performance in the classroom and in the work place. I have found that the work I do to maintain this balance keeps order and allows my family to perform at its apex, which allows me to excel in my studies and work because the things I pour my heart and soul into, when filled, respond by pouring back into my life. In short, their happiness means my happiness.
Could it be that some of the struggles we have seen in the classroom from our students is a result of the lack of or absence of happiness? I would love to hear you thoughts.
