For the babies and for you...


(ten hours or so since I sat down at the laptop and still writing them shows but I just found this quote to insert in one of the episodes and thought it so wonderful that I had to send it to my wife and to you...)

"If I had my child to raise over again I'd build self-esteem first and the house later.  I'd finger paint more and point the finger less.  I would do less correcting and more connecting.  I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes.  I would care to know less and know to care more.  I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.  I'd stop playing serious and seriously play.  I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.  I'd do more hugging and less tugging. I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.  I would be firm less often and affirm much more. I'd model less about the love of power and more about the power of love."

[and in other news, re: my trip through 'H-town' earlier today, in the midst of it--and it got much worse before it got any better--my executive producer called to tell me our ratings have more than doubled in the last month, so there's often something to be grateful for even in the midst of the heat...]
