163: Time and Trust and Letting Go

This week, I'm talking about:
how time moves so fast.
making the most of our time with our kids.
not being anxious but trusting our kids will get to where they are meant to go.
how we have to let go of each stage of our lives.
our son Thomas and grief and birthday traditions.
I'm sharing two stories
Time and Trust (from my book Radical Unschool Love)
Letting Go of Another of Thomas' Places
I tried a new podcasting recording setup for this episode. Please ignore any imperfections. Yes, there are a few skipped words and a bit of breathy breathing and other strange noises, but I hope this recording is good enough to listen to. (How did Darth Vader get into my podcast?!) When I learn how to use Adobe Audition better, my podcasts will sound better!

Are you willing to help me?
