In our house, we love NBC’s The Voice. It is one of the few shows that can still bring our teenage boys into the living room to watch television with us. We've watched all but the first season and enjoy that this wonderful show puts the focus on what should truly matter about a singer – their voice. We love that the coaches on The Voice have no idea what the vocalist looks like as they listen to them singing. Age, race, body-type, play no part in whether the coach will turn their chair in hopes of working with the singer. Sometimes, even the singer’s gender is a complete surprise to the four iconic musicians who sit in the now iconic red chairs.

I started using the term "brain-trust" in 2003 while working on a case for support for a proposed non-profit. I was working with a powerhouse of a businesswoman who made stuff happen.

I mean seriously…say this outloud: "we are googling analytics". That...

"Got Oxytocin?" was a Confident Birthing Childbirth Class activity that took on a life of its own. Designed to be a way for parents to remember the role of the hormones of birth - especially oxytocin it became a wonderful way for couples to enjoy thinking about their baby and considering his/her personality and how the baby is a part of the birth process Creativity abounded and the t-shirts became not only a memento from the class but some parents even took their t-shirts into their births with them as a reminder from the baby for all to support this oxytocin-rich environment and let the family do exactly what they know how to do Much thanks to Kam Taylor for taking such great photos of these Confident Birthing parents' works of art!...
