Roles. They define our rights, obligations, responsibilities, beliefs, and even who we are. How well do we each understand our respective roles? How do we teach our children about proper roles?

His excuse was that he was living by principle. But, I could clearly see that he wasn’t. In fact, I wondered if he was maybe a bit confused about what a principle even is.   A principle isn’t something we just resonate with or prefer. When we understand and live by correct principles, we are acknowledging truth and conforming to it, instead of controlling it. When we align our practices with our principles we feel comfortable in our …
