Expect Mistakes, Not Mediocrity

JANEY GOUDE
I was writing a response to a comment on "Balancing Expectation" (blog post 7/16) when I realized it really deserved a post of its own. Paula writes, "...sometimes I think I let my kids down and they don't do things or think more of themselves cause I

Balancing Expectations

JANEY GOUDE
Life isn't about avoiding storms, but about learning to dance in the rain. Most of my life's storms result from those everyday events that pop up like little twirling tornados and send me into a tailspin. More and more I'm realizing they usually come
