Is Date Night needed or overrated?

Went to see DATE NIGHT with my husband and a few other couples on our regularly schedule "date night".  My review of the film? During several scenes you'll burst out laughing a little too loud as it rings true to your life. It's a funny premise in concept, but several scenes are tacky--they didn't need to "go there". Good enough to see once, just not over and over. Take away from the movie? Have regular DATE NIGHT's with your spouse and strive to keep it as exciting as when you were dating. For more of my take on dating your spouse, read my latest article on SouthlakeMoms.com

What we Think About and what we Want

I'm in the middle of reading neurologist Dr. Caroline Leaf's new book THE GIFT IN YOU--discover new life through gifts hidden in your mind. And it is a surprisingly good book. It's not too "scholarly" that we can't understand it and yet Dr. Leaf offers cutting edge, ground breaking insights into the latest discoveries in research on the brain. Quite intriguing read since Solomon announced in the book of Proverbs over 3000 year ago that indeed we are what we think. My Uncle Darwin always mentored us with this wisdom as we were growing up. Now here's a book where science validates and confirms what the Bible has been claiming and Dr. Leaf gives practical tips on how to "retrain" your brain to stop stinkin' thinking that defeats and sabotages your dreams and start thinking healthy, empowering thoughts that will help you get where you want to go.
