Don’t Buy Things, Buy Experiences!

Jun 3, 2015

Recently my wife and I realized we had both been handed down silver tea service settings by our mothers, and we really didn’t know what to do with them. We certainly had no use for them, nor do we expect either of our boys will want them. Along about the same time a client called. They had gotten one of those postcards in the mail – you’ve probably gotten one too – offering what appeared to be a steal of a deal on some land in North Carolina. They wanted to know if we thought it would be a good idea for them to buy this property to hand down to the kids.

How One Boy’s Imagination Changed His Life Forever

How One Boy’s Imagination Changed His Life Forever

May 22, 2015

As kids, we all dreamed big! Really BIG!!! Our imaginations were filled with all sorts of wonder. Building castles, going to the moon, being race car drivers, princesses, the president or even an adventurer. For me, my dream was becoming a famous ocean explorer like Jaques Cousteau. For Caine Monroy, a young boy from Southern California, it was owning an arcade. Despite being 9 and not exactly having the means of buying real arcade equipment, Caine let his imagination run wild and he decided to build his arcade anyway.

May 13, 2015

When we are in the throws of parenthood – spending long days cleaning messes, wiping bottoms and hugging squirming toddlers – it can be easy to lose touch with our spouse. After all, these little people in our care can be quite demanding. Even as they grow and become more independent, our children still require much of our time and attention. Now add in the rest of life’s realities, such as work, chores and famy obligations, and who has time to even think about our spouse, much less make him or her a priority?

Fostering a Child: My Family’s Journey to Leaving a Legacy of Love

Fostering a Child: My Family’s Journey to Leaving a Legacy of Love

Apr 24, 2015

Two years ago, when my then nine year old son first came to live with us, he asked my husband an interesting question at bedtime. He had been with us for two weeks and he wanted to know why everyone in the family – brothers, sisters, parents – told him that they loved him every day. He was puzzled because he had never had anyone say that to him before, and he said he didn’t really know what it even meant. My husband told him, “it means we will always be here for you, no matter what, that we will always have your back, that our family will always be your family, and that we will love you unconditionally and forever.”
