Teaching Our Kids to Mourn
While it's not something particularly pleasant to consider, I firmly believe that we have an obligation as parents to teach our children how to mourn as surely as we teach them to ride a bike.
Get Real! {The Freedom of Authentic Hospitality}
Real hospitality throws open not just its front door but also its heart and says you belong right here because your company brings me delight and pleasure. It's not being tolerated or putting on a happy face or behaving a certain way. It's not a carefully chosen menu with perfectly folded napkins.
“Tell Me Again, Mama” {Stories of Our Heroes}
For every one of the lives that these stories represent, we are tasked with teaching our children the importance of Veteran's Day. It's not just a reason to hold a sale or enjoy a day off.
