Anything can happen……

This week we begin a two-part story from a friend of ours, Sabina Burd. You’ll also be able to listen to it in one piece soon here on our website. This story is striking to me in so many ways and on multiple levels. A small part of it is that I have a personal connection to the storyteller. In larger part, there are countless elements within her tale that are both inspiring and a reminder of the precarious nature of our time here on earth.
 

This week, we talked to Padmaja, a first-time mom from India living with her little girl and husband in the Seattle area. As a mom of a daughter myself, our conversation with her got me thinking, once again, about the “princess culture” unique to our country.

This segment illustrates this time and place for young adults on the verge of high school graduation and as they become freshmen again.

On a rainy, dreary, Seattle morning last week we got a chance to cozy up at the Eastlake home of Derrick Peters. We sat indian-style on the floor with Derrick and his co-mo-bro, Jon Ducrou to talk mustaches and Movember. Both guys serve on the Seattle board and are involved nationwide. Rebecca and I walked in knowing a bit about the org, but not much. We knew that dudes grow staches to raise awareness of mens' health.
