'Love is the Foundation from which we build everything in life, and it starts at home..."
Powerful words of wisdom, from our guest this week - American author & life coach, and fellow Mom, Sonia Jackson Myles.
Could we Learn to Love better? How do we love ourselves better?
Understanding and embracing the basic meaning of Love, says Sonia, starts at home, in our family life. As children, we learn from our parents - and our kids learn about Love from us.
It's the foundational structure that determines how successful we become in life. And Sonia agrees, without Love, we are broken people - it brings that wholesome gratitude to life - especially important as Parents and teachers to our children.
