I do that every single day of my life.
I help people unschool.
I help them realize where their negativity is harming their relationship with
their children.
So have you been doing, lately!

Balance? Probably my husband thinks not.
Every single day. The only days I miss are when I'm at a conference doing it
in person, or when we're on a family outing and I'm away from the computer.
I pay for my website so it won't have ads, and so it will be easy to
remember, so people can get to it easily and without irritation. I just
got this note from someone I helped by e-mail today:
-=-Thank you for your speedy and incredibly helpful response!
You can't believe how much your message has helped me and at a time I need
it most. Thank you for the insights and websites. I look forward to
delving into them. I will try to attend the conference as well.

That's the HSC conference, where I won't be, but the mom is in northern
California.
I AM helping with peace in families.
I'm not doing it by stirring up a cloud of negativity, though. They're
moving already from negativity toward peace. It's just a little assist.

Have A Nice Day!
I agree Sandra. I'm glad you clarified that though, because it almost sounded different than what you intended, and I couldn't believe that was really what you meant.
I'm doing my darndest to be a positive influence here. Its not always easy though, is it!

There are calms and storms, and we can no more prevent them than we can
prevent rain or snow.
