One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others.

For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Life Teaches You Things...


Unlike most bloggers, I try to write about the deeper meaning of life and less about my own drama, despite this being titled "Chaton's World".

That being said, I realize that sometimes I need to write about things more personal than politics. Recently, I have learned that people will disappoint you, relationships will fail, but still you need to believe. You see, it is not about the individual people or about the particular relationship. It is about the lessons that God has for your life.

I’ll keep you posted about what life reveals to me. Chaton’s World is full of surprises!
