That’s the thing about Kevin– the thing I want to reciprocate– he doesn’t just see the best in me, he assumes motion toward my best, propping me up, holding my hand and urging me on. He reminds me who I am, who I want to be. More importantly, he’s willing to take the risks inherent in making those leaps together.
Igniting Community
Ignites are great opportunities for members of a community to gather and share their passions. Usually, the night ends with the audience buoyed by the energy the event brings and thinking about something new. With my 10-year-old presenting, it’s even more special.
Born to Boogie
While I’m quite certain Matilda has her own special dancing talent, it turns out, most babies do. From the Ice Age to present day, dancing and music have helped us not only have fun and connect, but also survive.
Snowman in Hell
When Carter turned 10 last month, he got the complete collection of Calvin & Hobbes comics for this birthday. It shows in his work.
Gifts Accepted
Giving a gift says, “hey- I thought of you when you weren’t here- you stay in my heart.”
Boys, girls, science and marketing.
There’s no surprise that we’re not raising girls who think dangerous science could be fun- we’re too busy telling them cleaning is fun.
Goals for 2010
I’ve been at this crap a long time. 2010 is time for some focus and serenity.
