We’ve had colds here. Meredith didn’t get it too badly thankfully, Kris got it the worst. I’ve been napping with her during the days though and that’s normally when I would post. Or at night, but she’s started going to sleep later in the evenings too so I’ve been tending to go to bed with [...]

One thing that video I posted in my last post got me thinking about again is praise. I think most people out there don’t even think there is any controversy or differing opinions on the use of praise. Praise is positive, and therefore must be a good thing, right? At the end of the video, [...]

I’m not sure where or when my journey to who I am now really began. A lot of my current thinking are beliefs I’ve had as long as I can remember. My dad was an environmentalist and I can remember him telling me “That’s not gross, that’s cool!” at some point when we [...]
