Go to Your Meetings!

You have a meeting on your calendar. You wouldn't be invited if your input wasn't important, right? I can hear the comments now but just go with me on this one.

Instead of looking at a meeting as an interference, a waste of time, or time taken away from "getting the job done," look at a meeting as your job. Look at your next meeting as an opportunity to connect, learn, influence, or set direction and that next meeting may just be the very best use of your time.

So, in conclusion, take your calcium, be nice to your friends and GO TO YOUR MEETINGS (Lisa)!

Maybe It Does Take a Village

My daughter is moving through a touchpoint of learning, growth and independence (and doing rather well I might add!).

My husband and I love and cherish her and I know that we will move through this touchpoint as we have done in the past and as we will surely do in the future (unless of course the last touchpoint is at age 7!) I also know that we would not be able to support our daughter like we do without people supporting us as individuals, as parents and as a family.

So to our family, friends, neighbors, one super first grade teacher, an equally wonderful principal, our day care providers and more - thank you!
