Borrowed and pasted: Back to school this year is ideal for NO ONE. Not for teachers. Not for parents.... Hybrid is not ideal. Virtual is not ideal. Face-to-face in the midst of a pandemic is not ideal. For every kid who is anxious to get back to the classroom there is another who has anxiety about returning. For every parent who wonders, How am I going to manage this? There is a teacher wondering, How am I going to manage this? Often, a person wears both titles. For every kindergarten parent who is sad that this is how their child will begin their education, there is a parent of a senior who is bummed that this is how their child will end theirs. For every person angry about their child having to wear a mask, there is a person who is petrified their immune compromised family member will get ill. Life has thrown us a huge curve ball. A plot twist if you will. It will not be easy. We will be challenged. We will get frustrated. I hope we rise to the occasion. I hope we help one another. We will all need help. I hope we treat each other with grace. We will all need grace. I hope we realize that at the end of the day, our kids need us to be the light. Set the tone. See the good. Take a really unfortunate situation and do our best to make it okay. For them. For us.

Naomi has been one of my dearest friends for many years now, so when she asks you to be a guest on her wonderful podcast you don't say no. Really it was just two friends sitting down to talk about life, our faith, parenting and mental health. Honestly we could have talked for hours!
