You guys asked to see the unboxing… so here it is. ❤️ A little backstory first. After our mower broke, we were given another one, but it wasn’t very reliable. My boys, Quay, Jusiah, and Judah, like to do odd jobs to earn their own money. One day, Quay went to cut a man’s yard, and the mower gave out almost immediately. Instead of quitting, calling it a day, or making excuses, he sat down with a pair of scissors and started trying to cut the man’s yard by hand because he had given his word and wanted to finish the job. When I found out what happened, my mama heart melted. I was so proud of his work ethic, determination, and commitment to keeping his promise that I secretly bought him a mower. This reel is the moment he found out. ❤️ #ProudMom #WorkEthic #GoodKids #RaisingGoodHumans #HardWorkPaysOff

Challenge for Parents: Slow down today and truly listen, because the wisdom your child needs most is often spoken in whispers. “Listen carefully. The answers to our deepest questions are often whispered.” —Wayne Gerard Trotman #Wisdom #Quote #RaisingGoodHumans #ParentTip

The Good Person Chair: The Foundation of UnSettled Living We all grew up with different styles of discipline. My mother’s approach was swift: a quick correction, a paddle, and the lesson was learned instantly. My father, however, favored the slow burn. He liked to process the offense, write down his thoughts, and then invite me to his office days later for a "little chat." Knowing there was no such thing as a little chat, my sister and I would make ourselves comfortable in what we affectionately dubbed “The Good Person Chair.” I spent countless hours in that chair—particularly during my teenage years—listening to my father discuss the qualities a decent human being needed to be a valuable part of society. For the record, I wasn't a rebellious kid; the offense could have been as minor as missing curfew. Regardless, those sessions were frequent, long, and formative. As I grew older, I realized not everyone had a father like mine. A direct result of those chats eventually gave me comfort and the ability to confide in him about anything. He laid the groundwork, creating a safe space where I could discuss any topic without judgment. He gave me the tools to observe human behavior, self-reflect, and compartmentalize. At the time, I rolled my eyes when the conversation began with his favorite line: “What kind of person do you want to be?” At 15, the lazy answer was always, "A good person." He would level me with his intense stare, and I knew that wasn’t enough. I can’t count how many times we had that conversation, but what I can say is that, as a result, I know exactly what kind of person I want to be, and it’s an ongoing, conscious journey. Yes, I want to be good, but I also want to be someone who inspires others, someone people can come to and discuss any subject without being judged. I learned to be straight-forward and direct (sometimes a little too direct), and people know it comes from a place of love. In today’s world, it’s easy to become disillusioned and lose sight of what’s real. My skills in getting real with people—in having those deep, UnSettled discussions that turn on a light bulb for someone—all came from sitting in that chair, talking about being a contributor to society. Now, that original chair lives in my house and is still known as the Good Person Chair. While I may not sit my own children down for the same formal sessions, I do have deep conversations with them. And yes, I have asked them what kind of person they want to be when they get older. Like my father did for me, I have worked diligently to create a safe space for them to come and talk to me about anything. That is the most valuable inheritance he ever gave me. Where is your safe space? Who gave you the tools to decide what kind of person you want to be? If you don’t have one, just know that there’s a big, comfy chair—the Good Person Chair—waiting for you at my house. #GoodPersonChair #IntentionalParenting #FathersLove #SafeSpace #UnSettled #PersonalGrowth #SelfReflection #MoralCompass #RaisingGoodHumans #WhatKindofPerson #FamilyLessons #LifeLessons #ParentingHacks #ChildhoodMemories

🚔 Remember that D.A.R.E. officer who showed up at your school with the K-9 unit? That memory is 40 years old — and the program is STILL showing up for our kids today. 💙 Here's what most people don't know: D.A.R.E. completely reinvented itself. The old "just say no" approach? Gone. Today's program is built around real life skills — how to handle peer pressure, make smart decisions, and resist influence in the moments that actually matter. And the results speak for themselves. Teen cigarette smoking has dropped from 28% to under 4% since the early '90s. That's not an accident. That's what happens when communities invest in their kids. The biggest lesson D.A.R.E. teaches us isn't just about drugs. It's about showing up, adapting, and never giving up on the next generation. Today on National D.A.R.E. Day — hug your kids. Start the conversation. Share this post so another parent sees it. 👇 You don't need a badge to make a difference. Just show up. 💪 #NationalDAREDay #CommunityMatters #ProtectOurKids #YouthEmpowerment #ParentingTips #RaisingGoodHumans #DrugPrevention #ShowUp Open House lnkd.in/g7UNZ26m lnkd.in/gtQh9DZs
