Hi!
Have you ever grown your hair out from a super short cut?
I’m in the middle of that experience now, and it seems to make time stand still! So as I was wondering how long this process is going to take, I remembered a gift I once received.
When I was about seven years old, I got a doll for Christmas from my Grandpapa
It was just a doll head actually, with a small tray around her shoulders that held brushes and curlers and makeup.
As the daughter of a beautician, I went to town fixing her hair and putting play makeup on her pretty plastic face.
But, my favorite thing about that doll was that I could pull on her hair and it would grow instantly! Then when I wanted it short, I just pulled a cord, and it would get wound up inside her head, and appear to be short again!
No hour by hour, day by day, millimeter by millimeter, slower than a snail’s pace hair growth!
Kind of like the speed we may feel when making the changes we know we need to make in our relationships–SLOW right? Don’t we long to learn faster than we have before?
It may be like this:
1 we become parents;
2 we’re exhausted and realize that we aren’t handling some aspects of life well;
3 maybe our kids are acting out and we are feeling frustrated and angry much of the time;
4 so we pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and decide we’re going to do better;
5 we read a few things, listen to a few things, only to find that when we are confronted by the everyday stressors that have always challenged us, we go into autopilot and do what we’ve always done;
6 we feel deflated and decide that real change is just an illusion.
But then comes deep frustration because we know our kids are growing at the speed of light and there’s urgency in needing to understand parenting now! People’s lives and futures are at stake!
Our kids need us to grow and become more loving and responsible now so that we can love and teach them while they’re little, not five or ten years down the road!
So wouldn’t it be great to speed up the process? Get closer to the pulling-the-ponytail-out version of growth versus figuring out how to pin that inbetween hair back for six more months?
Why not join a class of like-minded women who can support you as you learn to fill up your love tank and to tell the truth?
We may not be learning as fast as my doll could grow her hair, but together we are speeding up the process and that makes a big difference for our families, now and in the future!
Imagine yourself truly, deeply changing.
Imagine feeling loved more than ever before.
Envision feeling more seen and heard and accepted and loved than you ever have.
Imagine the joy of being able to see your own progress and feel the walls of defense come down from around your family members.
Imagine having honest, meaningful discussions with your spouse, about things that really matter without triggering one another and getting off topic and into arguments about who said what and who hurt whom.
Imagine being able to set boundaries for your teens while showing them with your voice, face and body language that you love them!
See yourself feeling like the agent of your life and confidently being responsible for yourself and your emotions.
You truly can speed up the process by asking for help.
And isn’t time of the essence?

Love this! Absolutely it needs to happen fast but it is so hard to be unconditionally loving sometimes!! But, having taken the Healing With Love class two years in a row I can honestly say I am now in a totally different mindset than I was before, and have turned from spending most of my time on the victimhood/anger side (the field of death) to constantly telling the truth about myself, repenting, and much less frequently dipping down into the “field of death” or “collusion” as C. Terry Warner calls it. So grateful for what I have learned from Jacque’s Lioness program!! It has turned things around dramatically for me, my husband, and my kids.
And what a joy for me to witness! You have worked hard and been dedicated to reading and applying and I”m very excited for you! You have changed the future for your family! Bless you!
Yes! I want to be a loving parent RIGHT NOW!! But, man, it’s not easy to change lifelong habits. I can see my potential and I long to be the loving parent my children need. I’m learning every day how to be better and this class has helped me see myself more clearly and recognize the real needs of my children by their behavior – not just their inconveniences to myself. They need my love ALWAYS! I’m hopeful for a more fulfilling relationship with my children, helping them make choices of lasting happiness, and to become responsible people. I’m learning what Christ-like love means on a deeper and more applicable level than I ever have. Thank you Jacque for guiding me through this journey of parenthood! I feel like I’m finally on the right track!
I’ve no doubt you are Katelyn! I have loved watching you learn and hearing the insights you’ve shared with me and the group. I’m grateful that your “lifelong” habits are still, relatively speaking, young and new! You are at the perfect place to do the work you are doing now. You are changing the trajectory of your children’s lives and I applaud you!
