"My high school experienced a big loss last week. One of our own students took his life.

Everyone was feeling dejected and upset, so in order to cheer people up, a couple of girls went around our school and put post-it notes on every locker and teacher's door.

The notes said encouraging messages like "You are valued", "You are beautiful", and "You are loved".

It took 3,600 post-it's and eight hours for them to do it, but I'm so grateful they did because the smiles that day were so bright.

There was such a feeling of love and unity throughout the halls. A simple post-it note reminded us that it gets better." ❤

"Tonight, after 2.5 years of living here, my oldest son sat down at the table with this.

He was about to chow down when I stopped him and asked what in the world he was doing.

He said, ‘I made myself dinner.’

‘But it isn’t cooked. I can cook that, you know.’

‘Well, I wanted to eat something I used to eat a lot with my old family.’

So, we sat down and I asked him to tell me about it.

He said that they wouldn’t feed him due to being passed out (you can guess why) and he would have to make dinner for himself and his brothers (ages 2 and 4 months when they came to us).

He said that all the money they had would be spent on cigarettes and other ‘fun things’ and so he would find change in their van and buy Ramen packets at the store down the street, at 6 years old!

He said he didn’t know how to boil water, so he would eat it like this. And, he actually grew to like it.

So, he would break it up for his siblings, and would try to make bottles for the baby (at 6!!!!!!).

I asked him to make me some.

I sat there beside him and crunched it down with lots of water because it’s not great…and he just started talking about how the first time I made them Ramen, he wouldn’t eat it and I told him I remembered.

He said it’s because it reminded him of his Ramen packets and he didn’t trust me (big thoughts for 9!).

He said he isn’t sad he’s not with his ‘old family’ (his words) anymore, but that sometimes HE LIKES TO REMEMBER HOW STRONG HE HAD TO BE.

I write this so everyone knows trauma isn’t healed quickly (sometimes never), and adoption doesn’t erase the past or the memories.

Kids can change, and they will change with love, but please never give up on a kid because ‘they are hard.’

I walked away in shock, in sadness, and so so so proud of how strong my baby is. He’s so wonderful. And, we love him so much.

Friends, THIS is the life experience of kids who come from hard places.

THIS is living a trauma-informed life.

We can’t imagine what kids from hard places have lived through. It is not just about one act of abuse or neglect, it is about living in survival mode and doing it day in and day out.

It is about making sure younger siblings are also surviving, even at the expense of childhood.

Trauma infuses itself into every pore. Kids just don’t forget it. Their brains and bodies won’t let them.

Those of us privileged enough (yes, I said privileged) to enter into the lives of children with hard life experiences must be willing to sit down, eat uncooked Ramen noodles, and listen. We must not give up.

Our kids didn’t.”

Roshan, Aryan and Krishna got selected from their respective schools as a part of the Zonal Football Team.

We started football at Parkshala in the hopes of giving a platform to the kids who are inherently talented and inclined towards sports. So, somewhere, their selection is as much our success as theirs!

Roshan says,"Mera zonals mei selection hua, Parkshala mei maine jo sikha wo mujhe bohot kaam aya, jo tricks mujhse bhaiya ne sikhaye the wo mujhe waha kaam aaye, mai keeper hu toh tricks ke saath dives marna, diagonal position mei aage jana, team ko kaise call dena hai, cheer up karna hai, man-to-man khilana hai, wo sab mujhe kaam aya, to I thank Parkshala and bhaiya.”

Football training at Parkshala covers multiple aspects: Quality training, strategies, discipline, nutrition, and team spirit.

"How to talk to your daughter about her body”

step one:

Don't say anything if she's lost weight. Don't say anything if she's gained weight.

If you think your daughter's body looks amazing, don't say that. Here are some things you can say instead:

"You look so healthy!" is a great one.

Or how about, "You're looking so strong."

"I can see how happy you are -- you're glowing."

Better yet, compliment her on something that has nothing to do with her body.

Don't comment on other women's bodies either. Nope. Not a single comment, not a nice one or a mean one.

Teach her about kindness towards others, but also kindness towards yourself.

Don't you dare talk about how much you hate your body in front of your daughter, or talk about your new diet. In fact, don't go on a diet in front of your daughter. Buy healthy food. Cook healthy meals. But don't say, "I'm not eating carbs right now." Your daughter should never think that carbs are evil, because shame over what you eat only leads to shame about yourself.

Encourage your daughter to run because it makes her feel less stressed. Encourage your daughter to climb mountains because there is nowhere better to explore your spirituality than the peak of the universe. Encourage your daughter to surf, or rock climb, or mountain bike because it scares her and that's a good thing sometimes.

Help your daughter love soccer or rowing or hockey because sports make her a better leader and a more confident woman. Explain that no matter how old you get, you'll never stop needing good teamwork. Never make her play a sport she isn't absolutely in love with.

Prove to your daughter that women don't need men to move their furniture.

Teach your daughter how to cook kale.

Teach your daughter how to bake chocolate cake made with six sticks of butter.

Pass on your own mom's recipe for Christmas morning coffee cake. Pass on your love of being outside.

Maybe you and your daughter both have thick thighs or wide ribcages. It's easy to hate these non-size zero body parts. Don't. Tell your daughter that with her legs she can run a marathon if she wants to, and her ribcage is nothing but a carrying case for strong lungs. She can scream and she can sing and she can lift up the world, if she wants.

Remind your daughter that the best thing she can do with her body is to use it to mobilize her beautiful soul."

"This young man I hired as a temporary helper off the streets (no home, no clothes, living under a bridge 7 months ago). Well he has not missed a day, has never been late, not one complaint, has reunited with his parents, has a car, has clothes on his back and now he's officially a WM (Waste Management) employee with benefits. An amazing story and individual.” Via: #lovewhatmatters #hope #beautiful #helpingothers #support #compassion #kindness #helper #love #humanity #brotherlylove https://www.instagram.com/p/CHgZLXijjb0/?igshid=1gddkzwuy07oc

You’ll never own her. You’ll never change her. She is magic. She is madness. She is peace, hope and joy. She is a storm and the sunshine. She is free as the wind. She is the waves of the ocean. She is a wild thing. Do not tame her. Love her as she is. Create a safe space for her to land. A place for her to be as she is. She’ll be drawn to you like the moon Gently calling her to shore.
