Ok, that is a bit of a melodramatic headline, but in truth, it’s been four years and a month since I last posted. I’ve been reflecting on a) why this is, b) how I can restart, and c) how to continue with consistency.
The ‘why’ probably has many answers; I may expand on this in a future post.
On June 2, 2020, social feeds were turned into an online protest / acknowledgement / demand for change in an action called #blackouttuesday and I didn’t post. Why didn’t I?
I distinctly remember the events leading up to that date. On May 25, 46 year old George Floyd, and African-American man, was killed while handcuffed by a policeman with his knee on George’s neck … for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. The footage was horrifying. Gut wrenching. Incredible. Shameful. He couldn’t breathe. He repeatedly said that to the officers. So did onlookers.
Sharing a video created by my son, Ryan, as a compilation of awesome things we did in Hawaii this summer. Shot on Oahu, Hawai’i, Kauai, and Maui. If you enjoy please share, like and / or subscribe to his channel on YouTube.
Four years ago I wrote a blog post about returning from researching some boarding schools in Canada for our son who had expressed an interest in taking a different path in his education journey. This summer he graduated from Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. Three weeks ago he started his college career, studying economics at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, with his first semester actually being spent in Berlin, Germany. Yeah, I’m proud of him.
I love this video my son did as a recap of his March Break from boarding school. Two of his friends from school came down and basically did just about all the things any teen would want to do in Cayman. Enjoy, and come visit the beautiful Cayman Islands!
