I wish I had some suggestions. My thoughts are everywhere today, making creativity a challenge. All I know is we need to find a way to stop all of the violence, everywhere. We need to make the cowards who do these kinds of act disappear. How? I wish I knew.

I couldn’t agree more… I feel like so much is coming together around this underlying principle. So many amazing women have come into my life over the last couple of years, and I believe now is the time to begin building on these connections. I look forward to profiling more of them in this blog and working on challenging projects with the most creative of them – like you!

I’ve felt for a number of years now that we women need to stick together and hold each other up. Guess b/c I do believe that now is the time when women will pull us through, this is our time to shine and I certainly want the light to be bright.

I don’t think Unsung Mag has seen anything like what you have written. And we have been searching for you to say the least! Thank you so much for this share! The band is a new find for us too and is now on our list of favorites!

We are a digital magazine that focuses on the world of underground music and we would love to include this piece in our next issue. We are doing a tribute to the 21st century music fans and think that the example of your son, being 10, had an amazing time at this show. We are looking to bridge the gap between musicians and their fans and also between fans; we would love to help you to get more readers and at the same time getting Alt-J more fans!

We would love to hear from you!

[...] And they are gaining confidence as performers, inhabiting the stage with more authority than the last time I saw them in NYC, at the considerably smaller Bowery Ballroom. Their hair is changing, too… a new haircut on [...]

Comment on The Exquisite Paradox of Disciplining a Child by Deborah Oster Pannell

Thanks for that perspective, Lisa. When I look at things from the wide view, I realize that my son has a lot of advantages, just for the sheer fact of having a caring parent living with him. It’s good to remember, especially when I’m wondering as to whether or not I’m doing a good enough job…

Comment on The Exquisite Paradox of Disciplining a Child by Lisa Wields Words

I am currently living on both sides of the coin, with a (just turned) 10-year-old daughter who butts heads with me on a regular basis, probably because she is so like me, and as an instructor of an after-school literacy through drama program at three inner city schools. I am powerless in those schools, as I am an outsider, without the authority to discipline in the ways the kids are trained to expect. I am also offering a different kind of learning, where they are on their feet and I am not teaching to a test. At one school in particular, the group is made up of kids with lots of problems at home, many of whom are in the foster system. They don’t have parents who are willing to make them write letters of apology. They don’t have who gives them the inner strength to understand when they are being treated unfairly, or when they are being treated with kindness.

From that dual perspective, I’d say that you are an excellent parent.
