Chinese New Year w/ the girls

Image
Brooklynn and I joined the girls in San Francisco for a Chinese New Year celebration. We all decided to dress up in traditional Chinese dresses to make the event extra special for B. In addition to all of the delicious food, we also entertained ourselves with a long game of charades. Xiexie!

The Next Shaun White

Brooklynn and I just took another one of our Lake Tahoe trips. I am so proud of how well she snowboards. Definitely puts me to shame! We arrived on the mountain first thing in the morning and we closed it down, too. We'll try to make it up one more time before May. Fingers crossed!

Secrets

I think the term "secrets" has been given a horrible reputation. "Secrets" is generally associated with things in a negative way as if having them is a bad thing. Everyone has secrets. They are called secrets because they are private things. Things that other people don't need to know or maybe shouldn't. I share my house, my money, my clothes, my time, my food, my friends, my fun, my sadness... everything. Sometimes secrets are the only thing some of us have that we don't have to share with anyone. Which is probably why we get so upset if we tell someone a secret and in turn that someone tells another person and so on. That secret was private. But if that is the case, we should keep our secrets to ourselves.

Moment of Clarity?

I generally think people are good... but boy are we capable of some bad things. Now I understand what I need to try and teach mini-me. I just hope I am a worthy teacher.
