THE FLIP SIDE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: a journey through life and love: The Most Important Book on Parenting and Relationships: Building Great Kids and Relationships Using the Mind, Heart, and Soul

In the beginning, and in the end, love is all there is really. Life is a journey towards love, and we are always works in progress. When we stop learning and growing we die (inside); we become zombies, beasts. When we are confronted with negative zombies from the past we must confront our beasts and turn towards love. The following words and thoughts will hopefully lead you towards real, fulfilled love, and building people who can love: being the good beast. We will focus on becoming mindful and in the moment, and how to grow our minds, hearts, and souls, and how to grow children’s minds, hearts, and souls: the art of living and loving. Why are you parenting and in romantic relationships? Do you want to get to 45 and be loveless?; or to 60 and be loveless? Do you want to raise children who don’t particularly like you when they leave home, and who flounder when they leave home?; who are also loveless for decades or who lose one relationship after another? These things occur from generation to generation, unless we learn how to break the cycle; Thus this book. Relationships: Romantic and parenting, shape our lives. They are dual relationships, one shaping the other. Relationships are the main determinant of happiness. They provide love, meaningfulness, growth, connection – or not. Today, many relationships are wilting, just like a rose: romantic and parenting: wilting people, wilting love. In this world we can choose to let relationships wilt, or create vibrant, growing, beautiful relationships. We can choose to have relationships with beasts or zombies. We can choose to create young people who are beasts or zombies. Or we can choose beauty within: vibrant hearts, minds, souls.
