My friend is good with numbers, in fact, she has made a living with them. While I get lost in them, she can navigate a huge stream of them. Some people believe numbers have secret meaning and power to them. What numbers are meaningful to you?

The other day I had a really great conversation. What made it great was that it was a heart to heart conversation with one of my favorite people, my youngest son.

We were always very close, but with time, families can grow into ruts, and conversations seem to follow the well-worn lines of "how was your day" and "fine". It's really important, no matter how old your children are, to take the time to really sit down and talk to them, even about things that are difficult...
