Are you a Cool Parent? Does your 10 Year-Old Agree?

If you asked me when I was 10 years old what I thought of my mother, I would have answered that she was the best, that we did everything together and she was so smart, she might even know everything. Fast-forward decades later and our 10 year-old selves have given way to a new, information savvy, tech generation who may view you, their parent, as mildly inferior. Not in the wisdom department, or in the experience department and you’re okay in the discipline department – but when it comes to conversation and technology – you have a lot to learn. First, conversations don’t really happen in person anymore – they will eventually – but a lot takes place before words are spoken. It generally starts with a text. Yep, you read that right – a text. Are you becoming familiar with having conversations with your child who is in their room – while you’re not? Or when they’re a few feet away from you and the only way to get their attention is to post on their Facebook page when dinner i

Life after 40: Prepare Yourself

So...whose job is it?

Let me share a story with you, one that is not unique or isolated, but that stopped me dead in my tracks and compelled me to share it. It’s not necessarily a new story, and the responses are not going to shock you, but if you read this story, I hope you’ll ask yourself the question above. Across the globe there are people in need, animals in need, countries in need and so many demands that it seems overwhelming. Sometimes you wonder where to start. I started with something I’m really passionate about and baby steps that can hopefully make a small impact. I’m an animal lover, and have had rescue dogs my entire life. My baby step was fostering rescues, and then volunteering to help rescue dogs. Now, I play competitive sports and my sport is taking me to places farther from my home. With a world competition coming up in my own country, it presented an opportunity to help the local community with their overpopulation challenges. In fact, over 63 communities that are overp
