EXPERIENCE

I was recently exposed to this intriguing site that I shall visit often... and I highly recommend a glance at the signs of our times ~ updated hourly.  Every 60 minutes, information artist Jonathan Harris presents a grid of 100 images automatically retrieved from national news services like Reuters, BBC, and The New York Times. With corresponding one-word news bites, the evolving collage appears. At the end of each day, month, and year, the site reviews its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period.

OBSERVATION

This via eMail from Gloria:  ... People are only as mean as one allows them to be.  People are mean because one lets them be mean.  To enable is to provide someone the opportunity to do something ... like to be mean. 

ADVICE

Go see some art ... somewhere ~ outside, at a gallery, in your child's eyes.  Hangin' around Santa Monica CA?  Then visit the Riot Art Party  exhibiting the works of Vincent Picardi ~ arrive after 6 pm on Thursday 28th April at 702 Arizona ...

TILT (This I Learned Today)

John Gottman PhD has spent his lifetime studying marriage.  Based on his findings, he has culled seven essential keys to the success of a harmonious and long-lasting relationship.  Here are the principles espoused from:  Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. 

     Maintain a love map.
     Foster fondness and admiration.
     Turn toward instead of away.
     Accept influence.
     Solve solvable conflicts.
     Cope with conflicts you can't resolve.
     Create shared meaning.

Wow.  thinking about it, I can see how this could also apply to friendships, parent-child relationships, employee relations, and etc...  some really helpful concepts.
