"Your 'tone' is the way that you talk to someone, especially when they are doing
something wrong, or not doing something that you want. We all have a tendency
at some level to get aggravated and amped up a bit, depending on how much we
are hurt, frustrated, or afraid. But, the kicker is this: the more our tone is
negative towards someone, or angry, or escalated, the less chance we have of
getting the outcome we desire."
If you haven't tried roasted broccoli, do it. And then do the same with cauliflower.
This post really hit a
nerve. I buy way too much stuff. Target gets me every.time. Every time.
"When
we hear about grieving parents it can be so tempting to try to assign blame,
because if they aren’t to blame, then we have to grapple with the reality that
sometimes, tragedy is senseless. This is an uncomfortable truth: awful things happen
to children that parents cannot prevent.
It’s a truth so painful that we would rather throw grieving parents
under the bus than face it."
"I
want you to stop running from thing to thing to thing, and to sit down at the
table, to offer the people you love something humble and nourishing, like soup
and bread, like a story, like a hand holding another hand while you pray. We
live in a world that values us for how fast we go, for how much we accomplish,
for how much life we can pack into one day. But I’m coming to believe it’s in
the in-between spaces that our lives change, and that the real beauty lies
there. "
