Such really good ideas!...This a terrific post Lana! Such really good ideas! I wish your blog had been around when my kids were teenagers! That's okay I'm warming up for those grand babies! I um well I hope you won't be mad at me after this coming weekend its a challenge for Alz and I have to do it and nominate someone or two and I want to nominate you since its something close to you. It's called #plungeforalzheimers and basically you have to throw yourself into a pool, ocean, lake whatever to raise awareness for Alzheimer's. Patty Chan Anker nominated me, her friend Audrey de Wys thought of the idea. I have a team The Diary of an Alzheimer's Caregiver and we are walking in the Walk to End Alzheimer's on October 18th so this is actually perfect timing. I'm putting an ad on my site starting Monday to link to the Alzheimer's site to take donations. I'm doing mine over the weekend if you go to mine or Patty's fb page you can see her's. I'll post mine then you get a week. If you don't want to do it please let me know. Thanks and please don't hate me!Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-978537945821788472014-08-28T18:27:39.909-07:002014-08-28T18:27:39.909-07:00seriously a great idea!

Parents don't always know the best way to pursue certain goals, so I'm sure it's very helpful to have other trusted adults guiding them when making decisions, too. normaleverydaylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148273819794381557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-40277523996521142922014-08-28T12:55:55.511-07:002014-08-28T12:55:55.511-07:00This is great advice!

Even as an adult, I had mentors. When I taught in uni, having mentors helped so much in teaching me the proper work ethic, giving me options for career growth and also provided networks for me for advancement. And now as a blogger/ writer, I still look up to some ppl and call them my mentors. They offer me advice and guide me with what they know about the blogging world and publishing. It's really just helpful seeing more clearly what the path ahead looks like / or may look like. And I think it's also a good exercise in having intellectual humility. To me, that is very important.
