I was introduced to this incredibly powerful video at a conference and I just have to share it with you. The video comes at such an important point in our culture. While many people are supporting women who work and applauding their growing roles in so many industries, women are guilty of hating on and judging each other for not working.

It’s the battle of the moms.

Disney Pixar’s INSIDE OUT Challenges All Of Us To Feel

Jul 3, 2015

Outside of my office door I hear a little voice talking to her daddy saying, “This one is joy, then disgust, yuk! And that one’s anger.”  I know this little one does not like to talk about her feelings, but today she is excited and certain, describing the characters from the new Disney Pixar movie Inside Out.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude hearing her use emotional language and thrilled that director Pete Docter and Disney Pixar have taken on the task of bringing to life the amazing world of feelings and the workings of the mind.

You’re Wrong! The World IS Safe

You’re Wrong! The World IS Safe

I have something radical to say and I wish you could hear me because if you were in front of me I would be screaming it: the world is safe.  The world has always been safe.  Yes, children die, famine exists, natural disasters kill thousands, and we murder one another through war, domestic violence, and hate.  But the world is safe.  For those of you who don’t believe the world is safe, why are you lying to your children?  I know that a deep part of you knows that  the world is safe, but your life experience has fooled you into believing that it is not.

Fathers Matter Too | Helping Kids Develop A Healthy Self-Image

This month is a time to celebrate the fathers in our lives, whether ours biologically, our children’s or our chosen ones.  Sometimes Dads get a bit left out of parenting guides, but there is a large body of evidence that Dads matter when it comes to the development of their kids’ self-image.

Because Dads are excellent at helping kids explore, they’re also ideally positioned to talk to their kids about the risks and rewards of that kind of exploration.

The Champion Father Alphabet of Love

It’s that time of year again when many families break away from their normal weekend excursions to celebrate their hero.  This hero is not perfect. He makes mistakes, plenty of them at that. His decisions may be questioned quietly.  His wardrobe may lack the latest fashion. Perhaps his cooking abilities encouraged those who are hungry to remain hungry. Although perfection isn’t his goal that he could ever reach, daily he strives to make his today better than his yesterday and his tomorrow better than his today. For these reasons and many others, we take this time to salute the champion father.
