Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics. ~Leighann Lord

ew century, I am enjoying life while tutoring kids who missed a basic link in reading and other subjects. They feel unsuccessful, and my tutoring/coaching/mentoring gives me the exciting opportunity to uncover their missing connections and heal their broken links.They can then begin to grow academically and change any behavior issues.
Once I help them on the road to reaching their potential, it is rewarding to see the excitement in their eyes, the relief in their demeanor, and their renewed self-confidence because they can discover personal strengths, increase self-confidence, and realize their potential. I use various movement modalities from Brain Gym, Rhythmic Movement Therapy, and most of all Bal-A-Vis-X. This last program consists of bouncing balls and throwing bean bags. So much fun, so incredibly helpful to balance the brain and body, so amazingly effective. Watch it on YouTube and try it yourself to lessen stress and feel happy.
I also just found an amazing pill with serotonin called Laminine It's called the "Happy Pill. It also repairs the body and adds amino acids and protein builders. All natural ingredients and easily absorbed.
"My message to myself this year is to "keep my soul alive with love and forgiveness!"".
