Somehow, 375 years ago, the Quakers developed a religion whose core principles align well with the pillars of modern parenting research. Gail Cornwall on what parents of any faith—or none—can learn from them:
Quaker Parents Were Ahead of Their Time

White friends, someone just asked me a question on the skyline that prompts me to ask y'all a question.

This is scary to read. The upper Midwest is my long term goal to move to as it has the lowest climate change risks.
About 320,000 electricity customers in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada, were without power early Sunday as a spring storm brought freezing rain and sleet to the Great Lakes region.
