When I heard about the shootings I was filled with helpless rage and despair. Then I thought about all the other children all over the world who suffer and die needlessly. I can't prevent some tragedies. But I CAN prevent others. So I set up a monthly donation to the Against Malaria Foundation which will save the lives of small children all over the world, month after month. I also reflected that we grieve because we love. But it is all too easy to take love for granted and to show anger, frustration to our children. So in addition to donating, I am renewing my commitment to parenting with lovingkindness and gratitude in recognition of how blessed I am to have children to love.
