Today, I admit that *I* am responsible for my own happiness. If I don’t care enough about myself to take care of myself, to do something for myself, then no one else will care about me.

Casey shared some insights the past two days that I had never heard him share–they were actually pretty profound and hard-hitting.

I am a single Mom that was raised in the south (now living in the nation’s capital). I am a firm, but loving mother, or so I thought. The rule is spare the rod, spoil the child, right?  I have a wonderfully bright and strong-willed 3 year old son who is looking to me for… Continue Reading ›

Imperfection means I walk without the burden of the perfect answer, the perfect solution…because sometimes there isn’t one. It relieves me of the compulsion to control people… Continue Reading ›

Dear Kirk, As I started to become overbearing on my son (4), and more and more frustrated with the lack of any positive result, my wife reminded me that she had your CDs at her office and suggested that I listen to them. What a revelation!
