option B

Brilliant author and COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, was grieving to a friend because there was a father-child activity that her recently deceased husband, Dave, was no longer here to do. 

Sheryl shares, "We came up with a plan to fill in for Dave... But I want Dave. I want option A.” While crying to her friend, he put his arm around her and said, “Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of option B.”




We recently decided we need to homeschool Greyson. We aren't sharing the details, other than to say this is the right thing for Greyson right now. Life is too unpredictable to speak in forevers. (I have to remind myself of that often). Despite significant advancement in Federal Laws, I am deeply gutted that our public school can't meet the needs of all citizens. 


I'll be totally honest, I am scared to death, but most of all, outrageously hopeful about his future and at peace. Just a few weeks in, and we are both finding our new normal. He is finding a calm and happiness that had been gone for months. And because of that, so am I. And not to brag, but he's already first in class. This is not our Option A, but you better believe we are going to kick the shit out of our Option B.
