After initial confusion and misinformation, @HeningerToyota has worked hard to make right the sale of my parents’ new car. Thanks for the effort.

Just finished Starlight by RW. This. So this. Pondering ways to make more space for ‘the space in between’. How to model for my children. To explore the wilderness within oneself, too. #reflection #quiet #bestill

Can we stop calling critical life skills "soft skills?" There is nothing "soft" about being a world-class collaborator. Nothing "soft" about being able to identify root causes to problems and generate ideas and solutions. These are critical, not soft. #Education #JaimeRant
