ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011. When people talk about responding to orphan care, there are usually two avenues that come to mind. The first is adoption – and often, this implies a couple from a wealthier country adopting a child out of an orphanage in the third world.

Wednesday’s Child, 15-year-old Zachery
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

WHAT “FIT” ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JULY 2011. One of my friends recently entered the world of online dating, and she was lamenting to me about the body standards that some of the men post in their profiles. “They say they want a woman who is fit,” she says. “But I know what fit is code for. It’s code for skinny.” My friend is tall and active. She runs almost every day. She’s very fit. And yet, she suspects that her plus-sized body proportions would be off-putting . . .

That’s What SHE Said with Dr. Nancy Dome, Author of Let’s Talk About Race
I’m talking with Dr. Nancy Dome about her book Let’s Talk About Race (and Other Hard Things): A Framework for Having Conversations That Build Bridges, Strengthen Relationships, and Set Clear Boundaries. She shares about the values of compassionate dialogue when talking about hard things. Conflict is survivable, vulnerability is necessary, and forgiveness is vital . . . I learned so much from this book and this conversation. I hope you will give it a listen. You can check out the book . . .

Loved seeing these two boys walk in the Black History Parade with @100blackmenoc this weekend. They skipped the parade last year due to COVID so it was so nice to be back. Trying to choose a favorite musical is like trying to choose a favorite child, but Next to Normal is definitely in my top 3.
