The Nephew Lesson
The nephew lesson is not a new lesson. I’ve learned this many ways, but it still comes up because I haven’t quite “learned” it yet. What my nephew teaches me is the following: 1. that everything should take longer than I give it time for. I rush things. He doesn’t.…

Do Your Eyes Smile?
We talked about it in class this week. Do you know what I’m talking about? They mouth might be smiling, but their eyes give it away. It’s like they look through you or past you. Showing teeth might be a smile, but a genuine one happens with the eyes. They…
