Welcome

Welcome to Paradigm Life Skills.  I am Kimberly Staley, author of this blog, and owner of Paradigm Life Skills.

The blog portion of this website is a space designed for a more laid back approach to my musings over principles and perspectives. I share my own real life experiences in an effort to connect with you as a reader on a human level.  My hope is that by sharing in this way, certain experiences or principles will resonate with you, connections will be made, and learning will be accelerated.  

I believe in principle based living. When we adhere to good principles, it makes each, choice filled, day easier to navigate.  For instance, if we chose to live the principle of honesty, then we don't have to choose to whether or not to be honest in every specific action throughout the day. We would have already made that choice by choosing to adhere to the principle.  Likewise, if we fill our life with any good principle of living,  it will help us on our journey.  You will find on this blog I try to connect a principle with every experience I share. 

Many of my posts will be related to family management and home life due to the volume of inquires I receive about these things. As parents, we look to others  for advice in hopes to fill the void of a parenting handbook.  It is wise, there is much we can learn from those who have traveled the road before us, or who are traveling with us. I too, seek advise for every passing stage of parenting, marriage, and life in general.  They are all full of unexpected adventures!

I am a life long learner.  I study and search whether in formal school or not because I love to learn.  I am currently pursuing my life goal to get my degree.  It is in Marriage and Family Studies through Brigham Young University - Idaho.  I put schooling aside while I my children were small and my husband finished his schooling but I never quit studying.  Part of my continued learning was an educational investment to become a certified life coach.  This has encouraged me to continue sharing principles through individual coaching, teaching workshops, and presenting principles of emotional well-being as a speaker.    

In the end, my hope is that you will find something of worth to you through these reflections.  I believe we all have something to share that will lift and help others, just as we all have need to learn from one another.  Some of our greatest education comes as we connect to the experiences of others.  

May you find  encouragement for your heart and abiding hope as you journey on!
