An Appeal to our Better Selves

Jennifred Jones

I’ve heard it said you need to know your audience before you start talking…so you’ll know if anybody’s listening…

So today I decided my audience, the people I want to talk to are those who already want to do the good thing, they already have convictions about right and wrong, they just need someone to give them permission to step out of the box of societal-correctness and be free to share what’s really on their heart, what they really want to do, who they really want to be, what good they really want to do, how they really want to conduct their lives and their family.

I give you permission!

I am just a nobody, but I am also a somebody and I gave myself permission. Now I am giving you what has been given me…permission to be your best you!

Don’t hold yourself back. This world, your community, your family needs you!

Who You Talking to Mom?

Jennifred Jones

It’s a parental habit developed when the kids are small. You are conversing with them about daily happenings even though they aren’t talking yet…maybe even listening.

The ongoing narrative about what you’re doing, what’s happening next, what’s on your mind as you go about the day.

It’s a form of early learning about the ins-and-outs of family life, whereby from infant-hood on up the kids see (hear) how the family works.

The kids leave home and there’s nobody to talk to….

They come back for a visit, or you go see them and next thing you know, you’re narrating again to them what you are doing.

“Who you talking to, Mom?” my daughter says 🙂

“I don’t know, anybody who’ll listen, I guess.” I reply.

Once a mom, always a mom.

Now the narration is happening with the grand-babies.

Maybe, it could be classified as a form of storytelling…

Do you do this too?
