Learn how to let go and say a good good-bye.

One of the gifts of parenthood is that it forces you to be a bit more conscious about it, if only because you quickly realize that those kids are learning from your every action.

Create the world you want to see.

Choose love. Teach love. And never lose your curiosity.

Accept the gift and honor the giver.
