The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
What's Your Emergency?
There’s little more bracing than the thought of your child being in a situation in which they’re forced to call 9-1-1, but avoiding the thought will only ensure ill-preparedness if the time ever comes. The act can be daunting even for some adults, so it’s important to give kids a framework to work through in what will assuredly be a high-stress situation. Today I’d like to walk you through teaching kids how to call 9-1-1 so you can walk them through it.

Missing you
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Emily. She was young and full of life, but she had a secret. Emily had lost someone very special to her, someone who had left an irreplaceable void in her heart. She missed this person every single day, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to shake the feeling of emptiness that consumed her.

Love vs Prestige: A Tragic Tale of Forced Choices
Rahul and Neha had been in love for years. They had grown up together in the same village, and their families were from the same caste. They had always known each other, but it wasn't until college that they realized they were in love. They began dating, but they knew that their relationship would not be easy.

Good Luck, Kids
There they go. The next cadre of breeding aged friends, young and filled with optimism after having had their bids on houses in New Jersey and Connecticut accepted. Young Americans ready to stake their claim to their American Dream. We’ve been getting together on Saturday mornings via Zoom for years now — ain’t that a kick in the head? — and also watching as toddlers grew into assertive little people and baby bumps into babies.

Planting People
This is about people, planting people. Growing plants turns out to be a lot like raising human beings, because in many ways they need the same things and have nuanced requirements. If these needs aren’t met the final product is affected immensely. Therefore, the fruit that is born of the tree is directly influenced by the circumstances present in the nascent period of its life. In layman’s terms, this applies to human beings in such a way as to imply that the mental, emotional and spiritual health of an adult human is directly impacted by the childhood and relationship with the caretakers. This overall health, or lack thereof, is then a direct influence of how said adult takes care of the next generation when they are a caretaker. So, the process repeats itself and the effects, if not healed become generational. A forest is full of trees, and the health of the forest is dependent upon the health and plentitude of factors such as soil, sun and water in a way where every tree can stand as an individual, but what effects one tree can affect the whole forest. So, you have this collective called a forest and individuals called trees, yet the whole and the sum parts are connected, the health of the trees becomes the health of the forest. I think you could say the same about a farm and its separate seeds and plants. I like to further this analogy to humanity and its societies, families and individuals. That’s why I’ve named this piece “Planting People.”
