  Hi…I’m Debbie Wallace, Author, Motivational Speaker, and Life Coach of “Golden Thoughts Inc.” and Facilitator of Christian Real Talk for Women. In the recent past, I came to a crossroad and discovered that my life wouldn’t change for the better until I stopped conforming to the things of the world and committed to being transformed by the renewing of my mind and my thoughts.  Accepting this challenge of ‘transformation’ required a lot of soul searching and being honest with self and I found th …

The whole family is invited, but some events may be more appropriate than others for young children. Blind obedience to authority is the plague of our society. Many are coming to understand that the root of this problem is in the family. Traditional parenting often teaches "might makes right" and "obedience is a virtue."

It's about how we can take conscious measures to overcome our natural tendency toward confirmation bias, i.e., only seeking out and taking in information that reinforces what we already believe.
