The Universe in the Kitchen

The Weight of It
After a brief winter hiatus, we're back at it! There's been a lot of talk about how we raise our sons lately. In light of the MeToo movement, discovering that millions of women have been sexually assaulted at one point or another in their lives, we thought we should talk about how our daughters are raised too.

Oh Holy Night
This week we talk Christmas in a house with a bipolar parent. And we talk Jesus. It's Christmas Eve, after all and although it's the happiest time of year for some, we know it's not for all. Hold onto your loved ones, ask for help if you need it and know this... someone loves you out there. Here's to 2018. Happy Holidays, everyone.

While I Have a Feeling
This week we talk about the difficulty of loving, losing and never having it in the first place.  In fourth grade Randy can't relate to the other kids and there's not a much a teacher can do to change that, inside the bricks of the school. Showing love doesn't come naturally for some, but it doesn't mean it's not there. It's wrapped up in the fabric of who we are. Maybe it's even a weapon to defeat loneliness in the beyond. Wherever we end up, it'd be nice to know someone loved us...

The Me and The She
This week The Old man talks about an older man. He only got to meet him once, but he never forgot Frank. Wherever you are old man, we hope you find your Lucy. And The Me discusses a day on the wrong side of the bed. How to move forward when your inner bully dominates the morning. When the two versions of yourself duke it out try to remember that bullies never actually win.

A Real Friend
This week we find friends in unlikely places. You never know where you'll find an ally, but the world certainly needs more of them. Keep your eyes peeled for those dance store clerks, bosses, and shop owners. They might just be someone's unsung hero.
