Vision for our future

I volunteer at my local middle school. I noticed that one of the kids I work with had trouble seeing what he was writing on the board, and he said he had trouble reading his school work. I asked him about glasses; he said he was supposed to have an eye appointment, but it got […]

Bigger than yourself

My daughter plays (who is 12 yo) competitive softball. In her league, some adults made decisions about what level she could play at, that put her at a disadvantage (long story, but trust me here).

The Mighty Bowl food truck & cafe in Vancouver, Washington, set a wonderful example of being the change you want to see in the world. The day after the election they ran a very special BOGO at all three of their locations. Whatever political leanings you have, bring a person with the opposite political belief to eat […]
