...And the result after six months !

Yes, it’s true… It’s been almost 6 months since my kids have used any sort of tablet or phone… Here’s The nitty-gritty behind it all, and the truth of what transpired.

If you haven't read Jonathon Haidt's book, "The Anxious Generation" I encourage you to check it out. It is so much deeper than I understood and might change how you handle technology (for the better)

We are so blessed to provide our personal experience and share as we get ready for our family Make-A-Wish trip to a one of a kind adventure at Disney World.

At the same time, it is interesting to share about the feelings that come along with being a Wish family including gratitude, grievance and guilt.

Ok I seriously butchered this... but its gonna make sense if you stick it out.

Now is the time = Now is the time to act, to move, to go, to get off your butt and get it done. Now is the time insinuates you should be doing MORE. It insinuates living in the future.

The time is now = "Hey what time is it?" ..."It's NOW". Like this exact very minute and second is your chance to BE and experience. The time is now insinuates living in the present.

So the question is - can you do them both at the same time or how do you flow between them?

I have been rehabbing my shoulder for 6 months now. It has taken persistent and intentional actions combined with rest. It's not resolved but I heal a little bit ever day.

So is the truth when we are healing from traumatic events. Healing takes time, but not time alone.

In today's Daily Dose of Perspective I offer multiple things you can do to "rehab" from trauma including a technique of acknowledging and releasing emotions.

Responding to the 'interesting' comments on one of my recent social media posts where I was encouraging people to pause for a moment of gratitude. I do this a LOT... like daily.

But on the day after the election, the reactions were different. Many people couldn't look beyond their heightened emotions in order to give their body's and mind's an opportunity to rest and have reprieve even for just a moment.

Today's Daily Dose of Perspective reminds us of the importance of gratitude when we face challenges and how a daily gratitude practice may change your life but facing traumatic events it can save your life.

We recently celebrated a great mans life - MFBG. It was such a not-so-gentle reminder of the importance to celebrate life while we are still here and the beauty of past connections even if they were from different chapters.

Good morning sunshines.

There is a lot to be learned from visiting the 7th floor at Childrens Hospital in Denver - the Oncology and Hemotology Unit. Every person who joined us for an infusion over the course of my son's 18 months of treatment walked away with a shift in perspective.

In todays Daily Dose of Perspective, we talk about how we got to revisit all of Whitten's nurses and doctors in a healthy state after 12 month clear scans and just say thank you. Here is what that looked like, and felt like.

Making room for memories ORMaking A room for memories?

Both.

On today's Daily Dose of Perspective, we discuss the power of surrounding yourself with things that truly bring you joy and how that can be something as simple is a collage photo wall - DIY style. This leads us into a small conversation about living your authentic life and being proud of what that offers instead of hiding behind a "highlight reel".
