HOUSTON SPEAKER DALLAS LOUIS SPEAKS ABOUT IMPACT OF DIVORCE ON CHILDREN

My position is about your behavior and choosing to be an adult.

Summary: Dallas Louis makes it her mission to educate people about the impact of divorce on children and families

Houston, TX – Having grown up in two homes after her parents divorced, Dallas Louis makes it her mission to educate people about the impact of divorce on children. Using the analogy of how broken crayons can still color, this Houston author, speaker and blogger, also mom and wife, helps children of divorce see the opportunity to live into their full adult potential.

During the Easter season, we often focus on beautiful colored eggs as a reminder of the new life that emerged from the tomb after the death of Christ. However, eggs can’t fulfill their purpose until they are cracked open. Whether their ultimate destination is to release a newborn chick or to become food, they don’t fulfill that function until they are cracked. Likewise, while we might enjoy the box full of new brightly colored crayons, crayons don’t fulfill their purpose of making art until they are used. In being used, they are often broken.

Using the analogy of broken crayons that still color, Louis shares her thoughts about helping children when their parents divorce. She talks about how children are often broken by divorce, but like broken crayons are sometimes melted together, children are sometimes merged into new combinations of families. The melted-together crayons offer new coloring option. So too the divorce and re-marriage of birth parents can form new combinations of families that can enrich a child’s life.

Divorce is one of life’s more painful experiences for everyone involved. In-laws struggle to know how or if to stay connected to former sons and daughters-in-law. Friends wonder if they should stay in touch with one or the other or neither of their divorced friends. But the real adjustment falls to the children who love both parents and have to shuffle back and forth between them. It is a time of many conflicting and complicated emotions and the situation really can’t be resolved easily. Louis knows this all to well, which is why she longs to engage others in conversations at retreats, church groups, spiritual gatherings or conferences. “This is something I know. I can help them,” Louis said.

“In fact, both my husband and I are products of divorce. Between the both of us, we have had NINE parental influences through the years. That total includes each time a parent remarried and divorced. That did not leave us in a love triangle, it left us in a tangled, shapeless mess.”

After she shared her perspective in a blog she discovered, “The reader response was incredible to where they said ‘finally somebody is calling everybody out.’ My position is about your behavior and choosing to be an adult. My father used me deplorably against my mother. I don’t understand using children as pawns. It was all over the place when my parents divorced,” Louis said.

Relying on her faith, for both she and her husband, Jeff, is how they continue to grow as a family with their three children.

“God holds everything and is the center of all of it,” Louis said. “I’m fallen and sinful. My God is bigger than my sin and has my marriage in the palm of his hand. Your faith can get you through every day and even the worst days of your life.”

ABOUT DALLAS LOUIS

Dallas is committed to families and their success. She has a long history working at Trinity Lutheran Church and with Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) in Klein, Texas. Louis authored Girlfriends, Giggles & God, a 31-day women’s devotional in 2010 and The Mommy Diaries: How I’m Surviving Parenting Without Killing Anyone in 2012 to strengthen women in their daily lives.

Discuss concerns associates may have regarding how business is being handled
Set standards in the market center

Another role of the ALC is to be of assistance to associates in the office.

New agents have lots of questions and who better to answer them than the agents who have been there and know how to handle certain situations.

Power Drop Dazzles Airport Managers at The Annual ARN Conference

Summary: The single use-phone charger kiosk makes a statement among attendees

April 12^th 2017, - Los Angeles CA - Power Drop - a groundbreaking self-service kiosk that sells one-time use recyclable phone chargers, exhibited at the Airport Revenue News Conference in New Orleans. The ARN Conference is one of the leading airport terminal conventions in the USA with nearly every international airport attending. The Power Drop team displayed their state of the art “slimline” kiosk produced by The Venders.

Airport management teams gathered around the kiosk to experience the purchase process and try out a sample charger. “At some points there was a line 10 people deep waiting to try out the kiosk” said Joe Menichiello, Managing Director of Power Drop. “We were able to speak with the decision makers of most of the nation’s leading airports. This is what we came to do and what we certainly accomplished”. Power Drop exhibited alongside some of the nation’s top retailers and restaurant groups.

Many exhibit goers agreed that the Power Drop kiosk stole the show and easily could be the top new concept for airports moving forward. Most airports are looking for a solution for their guests who frequently are forced to sit next to an outlet or pay absurd amounts of money for a portable charger. This issue is even turning into a safety hazard as people are sitting on the floor while they are connected or leaving their phones unattended while charging which extremely prohibited.

Alongside the Power Drop team was their Canadian partner, Dustin Basisky, who also met with top Canadian airports and will be rolling out within the Edmonton International Airport by summertime. Hundreds of samples were distributed to eager attendees who needed a charge. Most airport managers agreed that there is a tremendous opportunity within their spaces.

They also commented that the ease of the machines as well as the simplicity of the purchase makes this a no brainer for their locations. The Power Drop is available for purchase to qualified entrepreneurs throughout the USA. 3 kiosk packages start at $16,500.

If you or someone you know is interested, please connect with Power Drop on www.powerdropshop.com or call them at (888) 900-3133.
