January is National Mentoring Month

January is National Mentoring month. Parents, this is a great time to thank the person who is volunteering his or her time to help your child. If you are the child being mentored, you can thank your mentor as well.

Mentors, here is a Flower In Ink to help you continue to encourage and inspire the children whose lives you already enrich.

~Wishing you continued success and blessings.


The Star

If something could be said to inspire and encourage you
It would be that although life can be difficult, you will make it through
Occasionally, mistakes and other obstacles will block your path along the way
You may have a brief detour but from the right road never stray

You will not be told to reach for the stars but that you are a
star. It is your birthright
Within you is the ability to rise up and shine as brightly as
anyone else, regardless of your current plight
Define your vision, write down your goals, map your course
and take action
Eventually, hard work and diligence will bring career success
and satisfaction

It also helps to believe in yourself and to have faith in God
or the higher power you ascribe to
For when you hit a low point, your faith will restore your
spirit and give you purpose and direction anew
A word of caution… always choose your friends very carefully
They can bring problems into your life as easily as an enemy

While you are concentrating on achieving your particular goal,
Remember to also take good care of you… mind, body and soul
Although a great professional career will promote financial stability,
Good health can’t be bought even if you are wealthy

Know your strengths but work to strengthen your weaknesses, too
Know your worth for then you will know who is worthy of you
This is your life… of your future you are the star
You will go places… you determine where and how far
