Go With The Flow
Let it ride, let it go, go with the flow. That right there is a solid gold tenant of successful parenting, and may successful living overall. Of course there are times when you need to lean in and insist on an agenda, actions, compliance. That’s definitely true. That said, I suspect learning when to go …
The Only Thing To Do…
The only thing to do is keep going. It’s a new week, keep going. It’s a new day, keep going. Your relationships are a little funky; maybe a lot funky. Keep going. You’ve made the same errors more times than you’d like, maybe more thank you can count, keep going. It’s hard, keep going. You’re …
Ordinary Time

I’ll Take It

A billion emails expected on Monday morning, I’ll take it. Kids quietly watching TV, I’ll take it. Detente, I’ll take it. …
Why Is It So Hard?
These things we are called to in life, these difficulties thrust before us, why does it have to be so hard? It’s just life. It is what it is. One of those four great truths Buddha identified: “Life is difficult.” In Matthew 10:16, Jesus makes a similar observation as he spells out how his friends …
Say Their Names, Honor Their Fight For Equal Rights
In this great American experiment, we must rely on the fundamental ideals the founders laid out in the beginning. After that initial revolution that birthed the United States of America, some eighty years later, we fought a civil war to solidify the course of our country. We are at a similar, if not as …
