It's been hard helping so many awesome families that have been destroyed by exhausted nervous systems and toxic politics. It’s a gamechanger to realize that it is our goodness that divides us, not our evil. Here is my shot at helping us start healing: https://t.co/XezIJGtRHN
I'm told that if I don't support Trump, I'll have the "blood of unborn children" on my hands. Is this true?
The short answer is no. A longer look at the issue shows presidents don't have much influence over abortion at all.
What's really going on?

I'm humbled and grateful that Insight Timer named my Releasing Resentment meditation as one of today's Staff Picks: https://t.co/AKEDTmpzHc
Praying that this hard season leads me and all of us to deeper and more courageous love for each other and to expanded self-awareness.
One of the biggest challenges to sustainable happiness is that it's so easy to lie to yourself. It's your habit of listening to your own BS that keeps you stuck. #TheUpwardSpiral
What a privilege to spend the day in Green Bay with teachers from #WeareGRACEgb. It is inspiring to see so much excitement and growth in Catholic schools! Thank you! (Turns out they also have a pretty good pro football team here!)
Know a couple who is about to get married? My latest book, We Do, makes for a great engagement gift. It’s a guidebook for couples full of exercises and information on how to setup the foundation for a lasting and secure relationship.

Handle problems in the moment so your partner has a fighting chance of recognizing and changing behaviors that hurt you. If you wait to bring something up, it’s very likely they won’t remember what they did. 😏
A secure functioning relationship – what I try to lead couples towards – is a two-person system. It’s fair and just. It’s a system in which you are both equals.
Grateful to #RCLBenziger and excited to be in Chicago at #NCEA2019 the next two days to teach Catholic leaders about the power of integrating social emotional learning skills into school culture.
If you have to tell your partner something they won’t like, tell them without beating around the bush. Be as direct and clear as you can, then repair and soothe them.
St. Augustine famously said, “God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.” Let's take some time as Lent comes to an end to notice what we might still be holding on to. It's never too late to live into the Lenten season and let go!
Already inspired and honored to help encourage missionary disciples at this convocation of Catholic leaders for @camdendiocese. Incredible leadership to envision and put this convocation together!
