we are                       

As a foster/adoptive parent, it’s required that I take 12 hours of online classes every year to satisfy the requirements to be a resource parent. I typically will procrastinate taking these classes to the very end, because I dread the 3 hour class of materials that I’ve heard before or that I already know about. Recently I took a class taught by Andy Pierce on Resiliency and boy was I shocked by what I learned. The power and nature of our thoughts has such a profound effect upon our relationships with spouse, with children, with friends, with work colleagues, with neighbors and with anyone else we associate with. I’ve been trying to put into practice what I learned that night and it’s making a difference in my life.
