There is another way of looking at this

This is a good reminder for me. When I’m having a hard day, it is sometimes difficult to rise above it, but I never give in.
How about you, what do you do when a day is rough?

A woman to admire

I only recently heard of Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic 97 year old woman who rescued 2500 children in the Warsaw Ghetto from the gas chambers in 1942-3.
After getting the children out, she arranged ‘adoptions’ by non-Jewish families (I admire them too for the risks they took) to protect them, documenting their names in a [...]

Taming the tiger

I learned through years of parenting that usually there is one of three things behind a child’s tantrum: either they need food, they need sleep or they need love.

Discussing hope by Joan Borysenko

I’m currently reading Fire in the Soul: A New Psychology of Spiritual optimism. Again, I got this from the library until I knew if I would like to own it. (I’m currently reading several of her books, serially.) Much of the book has illustrations of various types of new-agey helps that she [...]
