“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted, counts.”

-Albert Einstein

While educating the heart and the mind, it is essential to have heart-to-heart connections. For humans to heal, grow, and have fun, they need community.

Today I had a surprise lunch in Harlem (an historic neighborhood in New York) with eight fellow life coaches. It was a fantastic afternoon of laughter, fun, and bonding, something that I had not experienced in a long time.

As parents, we strive daily to create/hold/ provide a safe space for our children to play and be children. However, especially in these challenging times, it is equally important that we take time for ourselves to have fun.

Play is a community glue. It brings us together. Being a parent does not mean we should no longer play. Eliminating play is a slippy slope towards old age. Find your balance find the time, be safe out there, and remember to have fun.
