For the Love of Our Children
Cheryl Millett has been a wonderful support while we have been learning more and more about the importance and power of Omega 3 and Vitamin D. And I am blessed to have met Pearl and Andiran in Norway as their message for conscious parenting is growing all over the world.
Lastly, I am excited to have met Lee Gerdes, because his knowledge is what is leading us along our current path of research. With all the previous case histories of success with brain training, I am confident we have found a big portion of the puzzle with this discovery.
Omtimes: You mention in your ebook that you had to take on new job titles when the role of motherhood came into your life. What jobs were they?
Yes, I found myself looking beyond my university degrees, but actually using many of the skills I had learned along the way, such as researching. When it came to my son’s diagnosis, which is Chromosome 8p Inverted Duplication, there wasn’t much information about it since it is quite rare. Most doctors have never heard of it either. So for me to understand what it was we were dealing with, I had to take the challenge in my own hands and start researching. And what’s important to understand, is that because it is so rare, I had to start looking at other conditions and find similarities to research for solutions. So, in the end, I was really finding quite universal solutions.
The other main role was advocate. With our children’s best needs at heart, most parents take on this role automatically too. I just have to admit, I never thought about it much prior to having kids… But we truly are their voice. We need to be there to stand up for what’s best for them and that may mean going against conventional standards. For example, our choice not to vaccinate our children. It takes a lot of courage to go against when the grain of society wants you to conform. But for me, it is a thing of personal responsibility and personal choice.
Omtimes: You are very passionate about taking personal responsibility. What is your definition of personal responsibility?
Yes, it is something that definitely came up in my life purpose exercise. Personal responsibility to me understands that ultimately the choices and decisions you make in life have to correspond with your beliefs and your integrity. It’s about personal power as well. When we give up responsibility for our choices in life, we give up our personal power as well. And to me that is unthinkable. It is our life, our body, and we are the only ones who truly have the right to decide what is best for ourselves. Be intelligent about your decisions. Do the research. Do more research. Listen to advice. Ask questions! And then ask more questions to someone else. Compare answers. And then search within for the answers that truly resonate with you.
