Basically, discipline, effort, patience and courage are hugely important core values for kids to grow up embracing.

We're going back into core values: honor, courage and commitment.

If you want to make a difference in someone's life, you don't need to be gorgeous, rich, famous, brilliant or perfect. you just have to care.

What is it to be normal, at 12, at 78? What is it like when you can't grow up?

Indeed, many of life's most fun and pleasurable choices come with potential dangers. It's important for my son to grow up recognizing that what might appear exciting or inviting at first glance could also have eventual negative consequences.

I HONOR you, for giving me the COURAGE to love, for love itself is the biggest COMMITMENT life will ever know.
