There is much to be gained from reading word for word, and much to be lost.
Saying a lot in a short period of time is way more difficult than it seems.
So challenging to meet the listening needs of a diverse audience, including the diversity of where people sit (for example, we sat in the last row).
When you hope a teenager is inspired and they tell you honestly they aren’t – it’s time for Grace and time for being non-judgemental (of the speaker).
“Maybe they asked him last night to fill in, or maybe only a few days ago. Maybe he doesn’t speak often.”
Resist the temptation to judge.
Resist at all costs.
Don’t. Do. It.
Critiquing a speaker for me is the same as a chef visiting a restaurant when they’re hungry. It’s literally impossible to not make a judgement with the first bite of every food item on her plate – she can’t help herself, it’s in her blood. It’s automatic. And human.
It’s instinctual to help us survive.
Should i spit this out because it’s awful?
Do i want to come back because it’s so amazing?

Be kind to everyone.
Include yourself.

Little did i know yesterday morning during a run that this photo would be a symbol of hope. It’s speculated we pass through some sort of light on our way to the afterlife.
We lost a friend, colleague, football coach and art teacher over the weekend. He was in his 40’s with no warning signs. He leaves behind his wife and 10th-grade daughter.
At 16, our Son has reached a stage in life were these realities are starting to catch his attention.
Someone who “shouldn’t have” died, died for no apparent reason and without any warning.
Not fair.
Painful.
The school counsellors shared this resource via email last night.
The stages of grief that you may see in your child are:

It is a solemn reminder of life’s fragile nature.
