I’ve come to the sad realization that I’m an uptight and anxious parent. Don’t really know why - I just am. Since I’ve been reading Stu’s books, and trying to be more of a leader and calm head-of-state, so to speak, I’ve started to notice how I react to certain situations. And most of the [...]

One thing that I started to do a few months ago was start a daily (or almost daily) one-line journal documenting things that I don’t want to forget about my daughter. A one-line journal is not a new idea. And I’m not sure where I read about a one-line journal, but it is much easier [...]
