Very interesting. I think most people give up long before their skills become engrained and never achieve that type of performance in any area of their lives.

I like this. Every time I feel impeded, I will think, "I am singing."

The part about "increasing self direction in the teenage years" gets my attention, because as I heard someone say on the radio this week: the teen years seem to start at about 8 now! I can vouch for the fact that my 10 year old is in full teen mode. Very frustrating. I want to encourage independence, but 10 is too young to have the knowledge and experience needed for that independence -- too young to be shutting out adult guidance...and yet, the shutting-out is happening.

Journalism has been SENSATIONAL (I am using the meaning of "intended to cause a stir", rather than the common usage of the word to mean "fabulous") for many generations. I do hope that someday we can find the right balance and make it both informative and entertaining, not one or the other. I still have not seen your original video on the book, but I look forward to it soon.

The space saving furniture is amazing! I will share them with my blog readers as well. Your ball pool idea is clever, too.

This is probably my favorite thing you have written. That may be because I so agree with it. So many people react differently to an experience, whatever the experience may be. A positive attitude and a resilient spirit make the difference between learning and hopelessness. Sometimes the learning takes some time, though.
I don't believe that everything in life is beautiful...I believe in evil and suffering, but I also believe they can be overcome and learned from, and THAT is beautiful.
