Recruiting is in the business of “no” unfortunately. We say no to a lot more people than we hire in the end. And where the business of no is headed depends on who you’re talking with: the providers, the employers (including legal counsel), and the candidates. Into the great AI unknown we go.

It's rare that we I blow up at our kids, or at each other, but it's happened over the years. We're human, but usually centered, empathic, respectful, and mindful in how we treat each other and communicate with each other, and with our kids. That's our quality-of-life difference.

“….Ain't no stoppin' us now (No, no, no)
We're on the move (The movin', the groovin')
Ain't no stoppin' us now (The movin, yeah, yeah)
We've got the groove (The groovin', movin', movin', movin', move)…”

This one goes out to my wife and kids for my birthday. Love you all!

What felt like a string of unfortunate things ultimately became a series of fortunate events.

Ones that included having a celebratory dinner for your daughter's 17th birthday. Time and money got nothing on these things. Fortunate indeed.

"...Half of us divided
Like a torn-up photograph
Half of us are trying
To reach the other half..."

We’ve got a lot of work to do and we don’t always get it right (and I certainly didn’t get all the notes right, Mr. Peart). Give each other grace and keep working to reach the other half.

I know I'm not without bias or incapable of consuming poisoned beliefs, but I'm going to do everything I can to counter them for the rest of my life by rising above and leading with love, mindfulness, and empathy, without shame, judgment, or retribution. Amen.

But when the kids are sick, the main Mom-and-Dad thing is loving and caring for them, whether they're 5 and 7, or 15 and 17. I'm sure that will continue to be true for our family, even when they're taking care of us someday.

The good news is that our teens are getting the part where, no matter what happens, they hold their heads high and are proud of who they are and what they're capable of. They prioritize the joy in what they do while empathizing with others who don't.

Perception depends on how you feel in the moment, and I believe another moment will come. We know that worrying only helps to manifest the things we fear the most, so we'll keep manifesting the world we want, and take the actions needed to get there and stay there.

Again, we had no idea what this guy's story was. The store clerk and security guard were still fighting with him when we left, and the police hadn't arrived yet. All for one bag of groceries.

Right as I headed toward the exit, the guy next to me going through the other door was stopped by store security. I assume the security guar...

Of course, you never know what could happen, even just working around the house, which is why we're careful to not to be careless no matter what we're doing.
