I can’t see a child suffer. I am a mama and a human. The suffering I’m seeing is unbearable. This war is hurting so many families. Children. Moms and dads. Pray it with me: Please God, no more children suffering in Palestine or Israel.
No more scared moms and dads tonight on either side. Nobody’s nationality should justify their suffering.
No more killing. Just peace.
We’re all humans and anything else is just made up. Countries are made up. Borders are made up. Entire civilizations are made up. But people are just people and we’re all the same - that is the only thing that will ever be real.
Pray it with me. Peace for all.

Some nights we read Ramona books by Beverly Cleary in the nursery. Last night we read BOSS Moves by @MyronGoldenPhD , and tonight we read Create Don’t Capture by Eric Thayne @ericthayne. Yes the last 2 are business books.
Get all your kids - all ages- together and read something every day. Even when the teens think they’re “too cool” for story time, tell them to get in there anyway - not optional. Reading is how we learn and experience new things and we do it together!
Choose all different types and levels of books. Fun, serious, adventures, mysteries, personal development, business, biography, strange but true facts.
My kids run around quoting Shakespeare, the Bible, and Dan Henry @danhenry86 all the time BECAUSE WE READ THEM, even the 4 and 5 year olds!
The moral is that kids can understand and should listen to all kinds of writing, not just little kiddie Dr. Seuss books (which I also like).
Stop short-changing your kids by dumbing everything down for them.
What do you think? Leave the money to your kids or nah?
Yes and no. I have 7 kids of varying ages and I know right now that some of them are getting money and some of them are not! They all have different abilities, responsibility levels, initiative levels, etc. But they’ve all had the same upbringing, training, and skills imparted about using money as a tool, about helping people with your money, about growing money, about entrepreneurism. But a long study of your kids and what they do every day over their lifetime definitely provides a picture of what each individual kid needs in order to become responsible with money. For some of mine they take it and donate it. For some of them, they are careless and lose it. Don’t value it because it was given to them and they didn’t have to work for it or earn it. For those kids, they behave differently with the money that they have earned versus the money that they’ve been given. Some of them are stingy, not just with money, but other things as well. Some of them have taken money and started businesses and created value for other people in the world. So, as a mom, I’ve learned that like everything with kids, it’s not the best policy to have a one fits all policy when it comes to kid stuff. Every person is so different that you can’t serve all of your kids by treating them all the same. It’s unfortunate, because that would make things easier. But if the goal is to help them become responsible with money, learn how to use it, and do good with it in the world, they all need a custom approach. Just my take as a mom of many with a lot of years under my belt!

OMG I have turned into a lecturing-teenagers-Jedi-Master or something.
This is NOT what they showed in the adorable newborn baby magazines.
I signed up for cute and cuddly and adorable!
Sulky? Hormonal? Teacher catastrophes? Friend jealousy?
“She took my fortune cookie and ripped up my fortune?” (Yes, that one actually happened in the cafeteria this week!)
“But being a mathlete is a social disaster!”
End of the world teen drama every day? I never signed up for any of this.
Forget that I charge $100k per hour to consult 1 on 1 for clients… I have to give my teenagers the same hours-long lecture over and over FOR FREE because I’m their mom! 🤣
