Some of my upcoming projects are focused on the power of connection that arises from empathy.
1) How do you define empathy?
2) Why is it important?
3) How do you cultivate empathy -- in yourself, kids, organizations?
Let's start a conversation.

When you jam your bill through overnight…
When you are forced to cancel town halls…
When you need to wear masks to hide your actions…
You know the people aren’t on your side—and now, you’ve lost us forever.
We will remember this day. We will remember your names. We will remember you as traitors.

Play builds empathy and collaboration, as well as the ability to work through conflicts, imagine possibilities, and deal with disappointments. Children's museums create opportunities for families to learn through play. Links below. (1/2)

Probably the most dangerous thing in politics is when a leader needs conflict – depends on it for his political power… He drives up fears of others, launches provocations to incite violence … And so, a country seems on the edge of something disastrous.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
