CREATING A FAMILY LEGACY From Focus on the Family: http://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/building-relationships/family-legacies/family-legacies-passing-on-a-legacy No matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have one thing in common: a heritage. That is, a social, emotional and spiritual legacy passed on from parent to child. Every one of us is passed a heritage, lives out a heritage, and gives a heritage to our family. It's not an option. Parents always pass to their children a legacy … good, bad or some of both. REFLECT UPON YOUR GIVEN LEGACY What has been passed onto you that is positive? Know yourself, know your family legacy and take pride in it. Me? Maternal grandparents --- work ethic, passion for physical activity Paternal grandparents --- large family gatherings, open door policy Mother --- courage to do anything, belief in potential, unquenchable love for learning Father --- easy going attitude and approach to life, no stress Then, think about what legacy or generational tendencies you wish to put an end to. Me? Maternal grandparents --- scarcity mindset, sternness Paternal grandparents --- gossip and careless spending Mother --- fear based anxiety and perfectionism Father --- not getting involved in things on a deep level WHITE BOARD VISION CASTING Create family mantra (je suis belle, “Synans are people who love everyone”) Create family mission statement (work in progress) Create family values (love, generosity, communication, connection, kindness, courage, integrity) Create family traditions (celebratory picnics, surprise poems, mother’s day winery, family walks, Christmas morning baileys, family bedtime prayer) Create family impact – what organizations matter to you?

STRONG, NOT SKINNY EPISODE #014 THE CONFIDENT MOM PODCAST We have a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful.

The message I want to teach my daughter is that I believe I am beautiful. Do I always believe that? No, my mind manipulates my emotions all the time. But I know it to be truth. I am in the constant pursuit of training my mind to be strong in truth. Mom, do you want to be skinny? No, I want to be strong. WHAT DOES STRENGTH MEAN TO YOU?  Strength to me is: …the ability to slow down and savor daily life …the mental fortitude it takes to put on a good attitude every day …the pounding my legs can take in my pursuit of physical endurance …the humility to know that every day is a day in which I can learn from others …the pursuit of personal empowerment …the mindset of inner confidence …the patience in walking through seasons of life …the pursuit of excellence rather than perfection …the ability to love even when it hurts …the practice of generosity and grace, even to those who don’t reciprocate …the act of forgiveness …the walk of walk in trusting in God’s plan and in His abundance TWO WAYS TO PURSUE STRONG: Start making strength training a priority. Establish goals based around strength, not weight. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Want more confidence and inspiration in your life?
