Let’s Not Tell Him That We Don’t Like The Pancakes
I am blessed to have grown up with two parents who are amazing cooks. Family meals were not always appreciated at the time they were consumed, but now I remember them as one of the highlights of my childhood. We consistently gathered around a table while being nourished by food that was lovingly created and provided for the family almost every night. Now that I have two college-age daughters, I understand the enormity of this task.
After The Laundry, The Legacy
Meditation and mindfulness have been part of the zeitgeist for some time now. But it can feel like mindfulness is for people with a lot of time on their hands. However, this is a myth. You don’t have to be an enlightened yogi to participate in these practices on a regular basis.

We are by no means perfect — we are messy, loud and chaotic, with plenty of arguments and over-processing (¾’s of us are therapists), but we love each other deeply, laugh a lot, and have always felt connected. I remember, growing up, people would always tell me how lucky I was to have a family like mine. They could detect this special something — it was palpable.
