A strong man is one who admits his weaknesses and mistakes, feels and shows true remorse, promises not to repeat the behavior and takes steps to overcome the behavior or weakness. In Judaism this is called Teshuvah!

The Importance of an Apology: Lessons from the Ryan Lochte Scandal Last night as I watched television coverage of the Ryan Lochte scandal, (pre-apology) I COULD NOT BELIEVE what I heard Mario Andrada, spokesman for Rio 2016, say. Mr.

My favorite Valentine ever was this home-made one from Molli in 1st grade. Inside the heart it says,
“Be Happy With What You Have”..

When your kids say, “I wish I/we had—-“, ask them what they are grateful for.
