The Forgiveness Protocol: How to Apologize When You Have Hurt or Harmed Another
Note: I discovered this forgiveness protocol from an online comment from Kaitlin Curtice. I think it’s a really good process for working through apologies and making amends when we’ve harmed others. The author has made it public domain and asked people to share it widely, so I’m posting it here in the hopes it helps you as well. The Forgiveness Protocol by Judith Eve Lipton M.D. for Psychology Today Say you are sorry. Make an inventory of how your behavior might have hurt or harmed . . .

Touristing When you bought the citypass but they just want to skate under a bridge ... With three in high school next year I guess college tours are a part of our travel plans now. We tour City College SF and Berkeley today. They are both a ways outside of my “two hour radius from home” rule for college but I’m starting to get the feeling they are going to ignore me on that one. A mom can try ... It's launch day for my dear friend @jenhatmaker’s book Simple and Free. This book was . . .

We’ve decided to do more exploring of LA as we wait this pandemic out. (We have nothing else to do!) Last night we explored Echo Park ... we did a food crawl (empanadas and taco trucks and farmers market snacks and açaí bowls and cinnamon buns) and we wandered into book stores and sneaker shops and cursed our luck at the thrift store closing just as we arrived. Then we hit up this little spot across town for the ‘gram. What neighborhood should we explore next? View . . .

Marker earrings are this season’s hottest dual-purpose accessory. @indiahowerton Free this weekend HMU Rioters attempting to overthrow our democracy have breached the capital & are roaming the halls and in the galley, and they are not being arrested. They are being treated like children on a school field trip. They are taking photos and wandering around. They are standing at the podium as police just stand there. Meanwhile my kids and I were met with riot gear at a . . .
I Hate the Mom That Covid Has Made Me (My NY Times Op-Ed on Parenting)
One recent Thursday, I sent my 14- and 15-year-old boys off to the skate park near our house. I’m a parent who values a childhood lived outdoors. To that end, I’ve been a fairly free-range mom with my four kids, but as they left for the park, I gave them a warning that still feels foreign, even eight months into this pandemic. “Leave your masks on!” They both gave a nod of agreement and were off. In the beforetime, rather than a mask reminder, I would have told them when I expected them home, . . .

Happy 16th to my tall, talented, kind, hilarious, loyal, empathetic, athletic, sarcastic, and adventurous son. @jaftahowerton you have weathered the storms of a hard year with humor and hard work (and a killer GPA !) You are an amazing big brother and friend and you are so loved. I am so proud of the young man you are becoming and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Crowding the #millionmagamarch feed with pancakes is petty goals. Hit like to push this to the top. This was fun on twitter. Let's try it here. I'll go first: one-piece swimsuits, guys in skinny jeans and deep v-necks, Dollywood, spanking your kids in 2020, smoking hot wives, marriage conferences, boho fedoras . . .
