This is me breaking the Berlin Wall down at the age of 19. One day before the inauguration of Trump, the least popular President-Elect in modern history, the man who is to lead a divided nation, ask yourself if you have been touched by the events, have you stayed kind? Has your dark side been awakened, are you listening? An unusual post for me but a very personal one, from my point of view, an expat and outsider for over twenty seven years.

Not a perfect parent!

I remember my parents leaving me at home as they drove off to see Star Wars in 1977. They thought it might be to violent and I was only seven. The things we do as parents we do because we believe they are the right thing. I survived childhood and my parents made mistakes. You will too and your kids will survive as well. Parenting is hard, didn't anyone tell you?
