"The approval and the acceptance of your parents affects how you view yourself and the people around you.

It directly affects your ability to pass that approval on to your children, spouse, and friends.

Many people spend a lifetime desiring this approval and acceptance that the Bible calls "The Blessing."

The unconditional love and approval that comes with the blessing is vital to our self-esteem and emotional well-being.

The main elements of the blessing include meaningful touch, a spoken message, attaching high value, picturing a special future and an active commitment.

We can all successfully use various concepts and principles to heal our broken families and our broken hearts.

One of the best ways to begin our own healing process is to listen to someone else's story of restoration to give us the hope and the courage to move forward one step at a time.

That is is the hope of Sharon and Roy Montero. They are not only willing to share their stories with you but they are also willing to talk with you in group settings as well as in one-on-one settings and all from the comfort of your own home."
