One of the never-ending battles that parents have to face is making sure that their children fundamentally know that they are loved, unconditionally.
This necessarily requires that we build inroads and avenues for conversation and dialogue and that those onramps change as the child changes, grows, adapts, and matures.
Samuel Goldwyn once said:
The harder I work, the luckier I get.
I really like this quote because it represents a philosophy and worldview that I strongly encourage, especially with my own children.
Something that I’ve been doing for a little bit of time is sharing my content that I create to other Medium Publications.

Just a few years ago I didn’t even know that this type of role and/or position existed and, if I’m to be honest, I laughed at the concept and thought it was particularly stupid.
