I am convinced that we are never really done “parenting,” even for folks without children or with grown children.
Thoughts
Heart break continues
The heart break of gun violence continues. Early in 2024, there were more mass shootings than days in the year.
Communal parenting
When we fail our children, we fail our communities and ourselves. We have a communal responsibility to all of the children in our communities.
Conscious parenting – Basic tools
Instruction, engagement, and involvement are mandatory elements of the process that is parenting beyond the basic nurturing of our children.
Science and faith: a wondrous mix
The wondrous mixture of science and faith makes us stronger when we embrace it and use it to improve our lives, to improve the lives of others, and the life of our communities.
Catch!
The game of catch is really the universal exchange of human emotions that should occur in almost any interaction.
