Transparency and Imperfection

What a difference my experience tonight was from last night!
Last night watching the accusatory, aggressive, look-good-at-all-costs, shade the truth debate between two men and tonight sitting in a circle of 20 women sharing parenting imperfections, talking about the importance of transparency with one another and our children, and honoring the differences between us.  Okay-the future of the country is not on the line during our meeting, as it seemed to be last night. Although... maybe one of us at this gathering has birthed a future president-and that would mean good things for our country, given the transparency and forthrightness of the group.

Last night I came home from watching the presidential debate exhausted and discouraged.  Tonight I came home from hearing Jennifer Grant lead a discussion on imperfect parenting, inspired and hopeful. Jennifer is an author, speaker and a member of our Episcopal Community.  Check out her new book: Momumental
