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 . . .
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.

What Other People Think of You IS Your Business: Unpacking Rachel Hollis Part 1
Yesterday I briefly mentioned some concerns I had about some of Rachel Hollis’s problematic ideologies, and so I decided to unpack some of them further. Today, I’m starting with looking at the merits and problems with an ideology that shields us from worrying about what other people think of us. I’m going to look at why this narrative is so appealing and has become so popular, why it causes problems in our relationships, why it’s antithetical to anti-racism work, and how to find a healthy . . .
Girl, Do The Work: The inevitable fallout of Rachel Hollis’s problematic ideologies
A recent video by author Rachel Hollis, and the subsequent apology, has gotten a lot of blowback. I left a comment that was twice deleted. I will post it here instead. Because I think we need to talk about toxic ideologies. I have watched with curiosity for several years as a lot of Rachel’s problematic ideologies have gained popularity, and I think we are witnessing is the inevitable fallout. It’s no surprise that someone who preaches that we don't need to apologize is not capable of . . .

FULL FALL | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2010.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2010. Our October calendar is quickly filling up. I don’t know about you, but our schedule is always feast of famine. We will have days or weeks of relatively nothing on the books, and then everything sort of happens at once. October is like that for us. I will be travelling three weekends in October, and although I’m really excited about all of it, I’m already feeling exhausted. Next week Mark and I are headed to . . .

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 ...
