RC Events and My Teenage Daughter
If my daughter is home, almost everything is subject to change. I can reliably have Co-Counseling sessions seven days a week before she wakes up in the morning. The same is true of my weekly men’s leaders’ class. I am not a single parent, so sometimes my spouse and I can take turns.
With attending evening classes and workshops, I tell the organizers that I may not be available at any given moment. In the last twenty months I have probably attempted more RC workshops than I would have otherwise, but I’m not sure I’ve attended a hundred percent of any of them.
Yes—being “around” seems key. I never know when something “wow” will happen. And “yes” to our family being a place where we generate resource.
