Empowering people to make strengthening choices
In my last post, I posed some questions to ponder at the end of this year. Here is the story of a couple who faced these questions together. It was the evening of December 30th when Jack lit the last candle on the dining table. Emily laughed softly—only Jack would try to make a year-end […]
As we approach the close of another year, I find myself asking more than the question, “Where did the time go?” I’m asking something deeper: What have I learned? Who have I become? How am I different today than I was 365 days ago? Of course, it is so easy to notice the passage of […]
This is the week of Thanksgiving throughout the Americas, a holiday built around gratitude. We gather with family and friends, share a meal, and—often in a circle before dinner—take turns saying what we’re grateful for. It’s a pleasant ritual, but it can also be quick and sometimes superficial. Many of us mention blessings like health, […]
As the holidays approach, I find myself reflecting on why this season matters so much to me. It’s not simply the decorations or traditions—although I enjoy these. It’s something quieter, deeper, more human. The holidays invite us to pause. To breathe. To remember who and what matters most. And perhaps, most importantly, to reconnect with […]

When Tom and Laura met, something clicked instantly. Their first date stretched for hours as they talked over coffee, walked by the river, and found themselves laughing like old friends. For weeks afterward, they called and texted each other constantly, stayed up late, and told friends they’d “never felt anything like this before.” Tom was […]
I read a lot. Although I love fiction, most of my reading is on self-help and spiritual topics. I’m intrigued by books related to personal and relationship development. And sometimes I notice myself going from one great book to another without allowing time to fully digest what I’m reading. Although I’ve found great value in […]
“It’s easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world.” Anthony de Mello I think you would agree that we live in an increasingly stressful world in which the uncertainties of life never seem to let up. As if the challenges of day-to-day living were not enough, many of us are dealing with […]
“In my career as a specialist providing treatment to adolescents and their families, I have seen many parenting theories, models, manuals, and books. I have seen nothing which rises to the stature of this book by Dr. Allen. It has depth, breadth, easy to understand models, timeless and true principles, stories, examples, and specific steps to take to get to where you want to go. In my opinion, among all the many good books on parenting, this book has more depth, and more breadth, and has no equal.”
Ph.D.Psychologist, CEO and Co-founder, Center for Change; nationally known clinical teacher and co-author of the APA book Spiritual Approaches in the Treatment of Women with Eating Disorders
“This course is great, Dr Roger Allen has a very engaging voice which makes the program easy to listen to. He shares his knowledge with compassion for the difficult yet rewarding job parenting can be. No matter what age our children are (mine range from 11-27 years), every aspect can be applied to help become better parents and more understanding people. Every topic discussed has the fundamental emotions required to be open minded, fair and connected with not only our children but ourselves too.”
“Dr. Allen presented very useful techniques and suggestions that help enormously with parenting bringing understanding and maturity of not only children, but also parents. Thank You!”
“Excellent course! My husband and I were looking for a course to fulfill our requirements to becoming foster parents. This course puts great perspective for new and experienced parents alike. As a special education teacher I can connect the many principals and sections that Dr. Allen discusses to the collective research known in the field. This program is not only founded on his experience and opinions but time and tested principles. This program provided our family with the ability to pause and discuss each portion and determine the values we have has a collective couple. I recommend this audio program as a family, single parent or for parents raising challenging children as each approach provides the flex ability to learn and understand your individual child and to meet them at their developmental level. 5 stars for sure!”
