More political satire by Seth Greenland
Seth dishes up some more political satire on Huffington Post today with Part II of What John McCain is Thinking?
PS - Mindful daughter’s best girlfriend just came home from the DNC where she represented CA as a junior statesment and a blogger. She’s more insightful than most TV pundits and have the all-time best name for a political blog this election I Want Michelles’ Clothes. Look out BlogHer she’s coming up!
What John McCain Is Thinking? — Seth Greenland
Seth mindfully dishes out some political satire on Huffington Post today.
Smart men, foolish choices: Testosterone Rules? - Amy Spies
I have become increasingly aware of how little I understand men — how they operate, what drives them. ‘You have no idea how much men are led by their…’ my very significant other said to me at the dinner table (not for the first time). But this time, it was about John Edwards’ choices: while [...]
PeaceJam - Brett Engle
This year on September 11-13th, we’re doing another PeaceJam International Youth Conference, this time in Los Angeles with 7 Nobel Peace Laureates. 3,000 Jammers from around the world are flying, driving, and busing in to take on The Global Call to Action, a plan to address the 10 core issues which the Nobel’s feel threaten the world over this next decade, by implementing 1 BILLION service projects.
We’re shocked, SHOCKED — Susan Kaiser Greenland & Seth Greenland
Edwards knew what the stakes were and yet he took an incredible risk. It’s as if he has become Evel Knievel and had to jump over the 100 monster trucks just for the thrill of it.
Fly Away — Susan Sawyers
Emotion is one of the things I neglected to schedule the week the 14 year-old headed north to sleep away camp. After a series of attempts to manipulate the family schedule in order to accompany her to the camp bus meeting sight, we opted to send her to Toronto as an unaccompanied minor, or UM [...]
InnerKids on TV! Whoo hoo!
A half hour news television program about InnerKids and teaching mindfulness to children will be broadcast this weekend as part of the Profiles in Caring television series funded by Equitable Life Insurance.
What I did on my summer vacation — Lori Mozilo
Zach will be home in a week. Of course I miss him. I’m so curious to see how much he’s grown and changed. But I’m also a bit nervous. I want to make sure I honor his newfound independence. And mine. I have to remind myself that my job as his parent has built-in obsolescence and if I’m doing it well, I’ll be, for the most part, out of business in a few years.
Hard Questions — Liz Dubelman
Liz Dubelman answers her 4 year old daughter’s tough questions about sex in this hilarious Well-Told Tale podcast from VidLit.
Mindful mom is mortified that there was a techno-glitch with this podcast earlier today. If you tried to listen before and heard an exceedingly boring public radio interview, I urge you to listen again to this very funny podcast by VidLit
Building Emotional Intelligence and Fostering Resilience in Children — Linda Lantieri
What are some of your hopes for the important children in your life? Whether they will be successful at realizing those hopes is dependent on whether we, the adults in their lives, have equipped them with the inner strength they will need to approach their day-to-day challenges as well as the big challenges life may throw them.
Edwards comes clean about Rielle Hunter — Susan Kaiser Greenland and Seth Greenland
Given the unfortunate but necessary disclosure by Edwards today that he had an extra-marital affair with Rielle Hunter, this post is moving back into the featured spot.
Republican/Democrat has nothing to do with it. It’s hypocrite vs. non-hypocrite. Edwards marital vows do not affect public policy. Larry Craig, on the other hand, had a Senatorial vote which he wielded against gays, which would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
