And to all of their friends, and friends of their friends… BE LEGENDARY!!

Ciao, Deana

As I watched this video, the hairs on my arms stood up.  I’m such a sucker for the power of kindness.

This is what we need to be doing more in our schools.

My two boys just went through a bullying workshop at school and by the end they felt drained and exhausted as though nothing was really being accomplished, but a lesson was being taught.

One of our family’s favorite movies is FREEDOM WRITERS,  which every family should see.   As many times we have seen this film, we all end up crying. 

The lesson is deep and strong, so very POWERFUL . . .

What I love about this TEEN FILES video: one of the parents present, a mother who was in a position of power as the assistant principle of the high school, spoke these words to her son: ”I’m sorry, too.”  

This . . . is . . . truly POWERFUL!

Ciao for now,

Deana

My PLANE Came Close to a Crash TODAY…There IS NO PLACE like HOME….

This is what life is all about!

That’s all I can say about this.

Merry Christmas!

Ciao, Deana

A Father’s Amazing Love

WHO DOESN’T LOVE PUPPET SHOWS?

There is something about puppet shows that makes everyone smile.  Why is that?

Something about the magic of hands. Something about little creatures of all kinds that seem to come to life. Or is it the anticipation of what’s next?

It never seems to matter where the stage is, or what it’s made of: it could be behind the baby’s crib, or a cardboard box, and even from inside a garbage can, as millions of viewers know from Sesame Street’s muppet, the Grouch.

What is the magic?

Chandler and Preston have shared this Puppet Show with all their friends. And they insisted I should share it with YOU!

Our gift to you,

Merry Christmas!
