Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Attention POP Alumni - We are committed to supporting each person/family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it's challenging to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. From commutes to our destinations, extra-curricular activities, work and/or overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water, much less commit to getting somewhere else, even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed, and better equipped to parent deliberately. The good news is that we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS) led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.
