Posted on April 19, 2016April 20, 2016 by Paula Fellingham

Paula Fellingham here! I hope you enjoyed a fabulous International Women's Day on March 8th by celebrating with the women you love! As you know, I was in India with some of my team, presenting TWO Global Women's Summits with hundreds of women. One celebration was held at the Om Shanti Retreat Centre, outside of Delhi (March 6th) and the second was at Mt. Abu - the Headquarters of the wonderful Brahma Kumaris (March 8th). How I WISH you could have been with us! They were spectacular, life-changi...

My Angel Mother

Posted on April 12, 2016April 20, 2016 by Paula Fellingham

My sweet 93 year-old mother passed away last Friday. Today I would like to share with you the feelings of my heart at her passing. This is what I wrote just minutes after her death… Paula’s thoughts at 3:00am, Friday, April 8, 2016 My angel mother, Gwenavere Gibson Noble, passed away a few moments ago. And my own life-light dimmed as she left. What an interesting feeling. Deep in the depths of my heart and soul a piece of me just died and went away with my sweet mother. How gratef...

Your Priceless Worth

Posted on April 5, 2016April 20, 2016 by Paula Fellingham

Paula Fellingham here! Today I’d like to share one of my favorite stories. This story is meant to remind you of your priceless worth. In India, many years ago, lived a farmer named Ali Hafid. He owned his own farm and had a good family. One day a traveling monk came to Hafid and told him about a marvelous discovery recently made of a jewel called a diamond. The story so caught the imagination of Ali Hafid that he left his wife and family to search for diamonds. Ali ...

A Thought From Mother Teresa

Posted on March 29, 2016April 20, 2016 by Paula Fellingham

Paula Fellingham here! One of the things I love to do is share life-changing quotes, stories, and messages with people like you who appreciate them. About a year ago, I shared the piece below. It's one of my favorites and the most frequently requested short messages in my book, "Believe It! Become It!". It was written by Kent Keith. It hung in Mother Teresa's Calcutta office for many years. Mother Teresa said she read it often...... (I LOVE it!) People are often unreasonable and self-cente...

Families: Are We Going Where We Think We Are?

Posted on December 15, 2015April 19, 2016 by Dr. Paula Fellingham

There are many things that compete for the time and attention of families. People are constantly making decisions about what things should have priority in their lives. Are your family’s highest priorities in life the things you believe to be the most important? Sometimes people spend their resources of time or money on things that bring the least reward in terms of what they really value. Families need to regularly review their goals of what will bring individual and family ...

I’m Thankful For You!

It's that wonderful time of the year when we pause a little longer to count our blessings. Many of my friends worldwide agree that the American "Thanksgiving" tradition is precious. My dear friends, I am thankful for you. I am grateful you are in my life. Thank you for your sweet friendship and support. I am profoundly thankful to live during this glorious time in the history of the world. As you know, there has never been a better time in history to be a woman. The rising and awakening...

The Answer is Kindness

Posted on October 29, 2015January 29, 2016 by Dr. Paula Fellingham

Today, I am here at the World Congress on Families Conference, and I LOVE IT! These are "my people" and I'm thoroughly enjoying the presentations and re-connecting with friends from "yesteryear" when I worked on the World Congress on Families in Switzerland, years ago. I will share one thought, based on a substantial research study completed by four experts. The question they asked thousands of families was, "What is the single most important ingredient in a happy home?" The answer is KINDNES...

No One Can Make Me Feel Inferior Without My Consent

Posted on September 9, 2015January 29, 2016 by Dr. Paula Fellingham

I have many heroes. Webster's Dictionary defines a hero to be "a person distinguished for valor, fortitude, or bold enterprise; displaying great courage or noble qualities." One of my heroes is Eleanor Roosevelt. What an amazing woman she was! I've memorized many of her quotes because they motivate me to "live my best life" and I want her words to be readily accessible when I need extra strength. This week I'd like to share two of my favorite Eleanor Roosevelt quotes. I hope you take th...

Three Things Parents Should Tell Their Children Every Day

Posted on August 23, 2015January 29, 2016 by Dr. Paula Fellingham

Do you remember holding your first baby for the first time? Were you struck, almost immediately, with an acute awareness of your infant’s helplessness? I remember feeling incredibly humbled, and a little overwhelmed, by my new responsibility for the life of another human being. Although normal, for some of us those feelings don’t diminish with time and experience. I have seven children, living now in six states. My oldest son is serving as a Special Forces Medic in Afghanistan. These grown ch...

My Thoughts on Women 40 and Older

Posted on July 19, 2015January 29, 2016 by Dr. Paula Fellingham

Women are so much alike, aren’t we? We’re bonded because of what our bodies and hearts have been through. And as we age we’re asking the same questions and worrying about the exact same issues. Understandably, arriving at 40 is concerning because that’s when our world begins to look different. Many of us see that we aren’t the women we thought we’d be and we don’t have the life we expected to have. And many women are in a slump. Things they saw on the road ahead, everything they’ve purs...
