As I raise my kids I dread the thought of consoling their broken hearts but rejoice in watching their discoveries.
I am often accused of being an eternal optimist. I actually take it as a compliment. The intention of this blog will be to share the GOOD things that are happening in our world and try to stay clear of negativity and judgment. I'm hoping you choose to follow along and that this site will help put a smile on your faces and the positivity will manifest into your lives. The best part of being an eternal optimist is that your optimism...is eternal.

The Message vs The Messenger
Today a friend put me onto this video, and as a father of two young girls it had an immediate emotional impact on me. Goose bumps as soon as I read the tag line. And yet when I tried to share it with a couple of other people, they immediately dismissed it because the parent company of the brand that created the video, also sells products with the complete opposite message. So the company is labeled hypocritical and the message lost.
I don't get it.
If I am exposed to something and a seed is planted in my mind that makes me think or act differently, and I am moved by the message and the resulting effects...isn't that all that should matter? Isn't it simply about opening my mind and ideally becoming a better person? Do I need to dig deeper and deeper beyond the immediate results to see if somewhere...way deep down... there might be a reason to negate the positive?
Call me naive, but I choose to cherry pick what I ingest, letting the good stuff get in and take root and leaving the other stuff outside for someone else to pick up. (Please don't!)
The message in this video...made it in.
Thank you Dove.
