Family Looking Up


Apr 10, 2018

Melanie Dale is the Author of It's Not Fair: Learning to Love the Life You Didn't Choose She also has a podcast called Lighten Up with Melanie Dale, and a blog Unexpected.org.

Today Melanie Dale talks about loving the life you didn’t choose. We have a great discussion about how we deal with challenges, find joy in our circumstances, find support from others, support others, and laugh through it all.  

One part I really enjoyed is when we talked about keeping your relationship strong while going through hard times.  Every week Melanie and her husband schedule time to talk. Two questions they ask each other each week are

  1. How have you felt loved by me this week?
  2. How can I love you better?

This episode is perfect for anyone who has ever had any struggle in their lives...and we have all had PLENTY!  Listen to this episode for some advice, motivation, tips, and laughs.

 Melanie’s Mom Squad Challenge:

One of the best ways to help you feel more grateful is to serve others.  This week Melanie challenges us all to be intentional, look around your community, and take your family out and serve.
