June’s Mini-Celebration – 02.10.2010 Club

Greetings 02.10.2010 Clubbers!

I’m continuing the countdown to 50 with this month’s mini-celebration on June 10.

As many of you know, I have had the pleasure of being involved with Allison Bottke’s Setting Boundaries and SANITY Support Group Network for the past eighteen months. It has been my desire to facilitate one of the Support Groups. However, to do so, there would have to be one started in my area.

I am pleased to announce there are TWO SANITY Support Groups starting this summer in the Dallas metroplex! I’m so excited for all of the parents and grandparents who will be joining these groups and learning how to set health boundaries with their adult children as they implement the 6 Steps to SANITY into their lives.

I am also excited that I get to be the Group Facilitator for the group starting in July at Heritage Church of Christ in Keller, TX. I know this program works and I can’t wait to personally guide the parents of this group as they take their first steps to hope, healing, freedom, and SANITY!

So…how did I spend my June 10 mini-celebration? Well…in keeping with the news above, I had the pleasure of accompanying Allison Bottke, founder of the SANITY Support Group Network and author of Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children, to the Kickoff/Info Meeting at Heritage Church of Christ. We had a great group; in spite of the extremely bad weather that began hitting us right at the time the meeting was to start.

We had flooding rain, damaging winds, and more hit the Dallas metroplex all night and the next day. Thankfully, there were not personal injuries or deaths…but there was lots of thunder and lightning all night long, flooding, evacuations, and some people were still without electricity as of last night (Friday, June 12).

I was snug as a bug in a rug during the storms. There is a beautiful park at the south end of the street I live on that had tree damage and flooding. I walked to it on Thursday evening after all the storms had passed to see it. Here are some pictures of what I found after some of it had been cleaned up.

 

All in all, a great day, and lots of weather excitement – enough for a while at least. See you next month as we continue my journey to a spectacular 50!

Are you a parent (or grandparent) in pain? SANITY is on the way!

"Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children: Six Steps to Hope and Healing for Struggling Parents" by Allison Bottke (Harvest House)

Seems everyone has or knows of an adult child who is in and out of drugs, jail, jobs, relationships, siphoning money from their parents, grandparents, or other family members…and not willing to accept the consequences of their behavior. If it’s you, or you know someone who is in a similar situation…please keep reading.

I had the pleasure and privilege of working with a special project last year in the beginning stages. This week is a monumental moment for the founder, Allison Bottke, and this ministry, Setting Boundaries. I’m thrilled to see the launch of the new Setting Boundaries web site. This site is a valuable one-stop with all the resources available to parents and grandparents who are in pain due to difficult relationships they have with their dysfunctional adult children. From the cornerstone book, Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children, the resources range from online videos of real-life reenactments of situations (with solutions) that you might be dealing with TODAY to the national support group network, live webcasts, and so much more. You’ll quickly realize that you are not alone in your pain — this is an epidemic sweeping our country. However…there is help…there can be SANITY in your life and family again. 

Last year, I’d read some of the true stories of people who have started to implement the 6-steps to SANITY in their own lives after reading this book. With just the book in hand, parents were implementing the 6-steps to SANITY and positive changes were occurring. Any one step works. All 6 steps combined can bring results that you only dreamed of happening. With the addition of the support group network and the many online resources available…no one has to feel alone in their journey from pain to peace! 

There are so many good resources available on the new Setting Boundaries web site. Even if you don’t have a dysfunctional adult child…I guarantee you’ll meet or you already know someone who needs to hear this message. Tell a friend in need, help change a life!

Watch a real life scenario…”Mom, I need rent money!” — Does this sound like your situation?
