Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach,

and of course, your coach. Today is episode number 6666, yes. Today I'm going to talk about the revelations that I learned from my grandchildren because

children are your best teachers and everything it has to do with present time consciousness,

mindfulness, and of course, how you use food. So stay tuned.

Hi everybody. How are you today? Oh, what a beautiful day. We've had storms for the last

couple days and here that just means more breeze and cooler days.

And it is lovely. Well, as you know, my grandchildren are here. They're here for another couple

days and of course they're here with my son, his wife, my daughter. I call her my daughter.

It's just like having a daughter only I didn't have to

raise her and we don't have all that stuff, which makes it better. I got to tell you. But I feel so

grateful to have her and I've had a lot of people on Facebook say to me, oh, it's so lovely the way that you think of your daughter-in-law

and how much you love her. And you know what I said on Facebook? And this is really true because

you know I'm a mindfulness teacher and I teach you to be very conscious of what you're thinking

and to realize that you're always choosing your thoughts.

And I have to say that when BJ, my son, was really quite young, like a teenager, and he

started going out with girls, I decided at that time that whoever he chose, I would love.

If he loved him, I would love him.

Not using a lot of judgment.

No, she's not good enough for him and all that kind of stuff that we love to go through.

I just decided that he had a good heart and a good head on his shoulders and that whoever he chose, I would decide to get on board from the beginning.

And you know, that is exactly what I did.

And the two outcomes of that is, number one, he chose wonderful girls every single time.
