The Secret to Raising Smart Kids
Hint: Don’t tell your kids that they are. More than three decades of research shows that a focus on effort—not on intelligence or ability—is key to success in school and in life.

Instead of beginning the Personal Power Formula: 7 Steps to Lasting Change for your Body tonight I spent the evening with my daughter at the hospital getting a test done. She was in pain and we didn’t know the cause. This is the kind of event that makes me even more grateful that I have my own business. I am able to be with my family when I need to be there. I missed not having my class tonight, but I feel very good about keeping my priorities straight. Thank goodness that I can say that my daughter is OK. I hope she will be even better tomorrow. I am so grateful for the life I have!
What do you have planned for the first weekend of the new year? Weare picking a fun family outing from the list of 53-yes I know thereare 52 weeks in a year-items to do. Some items are counted more thanonce because they are so much fun… Like going to the movies…whichis what we are planning this weekend. The kids want to see The WaterHorse. Oh what fun it is to see a movie on the big screen.
I know, it is only the second day of the year, but what do you think of it so far? What are your plans for the year? How much have you thought of it yet?
My family and I talked yesterday about 2008 and we created a list of 53 things that we would like to do for family events/outings. We plan to choose one event a week to enjoy together.
I am looking forward to them all!
