And There's More!

I've been writing a lot about mothers lately.  Readers who are fathers and non-parents - stick with me!  It's all so connected.  When we get it right for families, the knock-on effects for all us will be monumental.

A few post scripts from my UN Foundation experience that might interest you.

• Inspired by our panel on women on-line getting socially engaged, PhD in Parenting wrote a searching post on the ethical issues of supporting a cause that is also sponsored by a company you find unethical.

• Emily McKhann, Kristina Daniele and I were interviewed by UN Week Media here.  Watching it reminds me how incredible these two women are and what a gift it was to be surrounded by such talent.

• Mothers Acting Up invited me to write some thoughts on mother leadership here.  I am blown away by the work of this group and I will definitely be talking more about their work.  I would love your thoughts on this topic.  Please read and comment.

• Jennifer James, founder of Mom Bloggers Club was at the early part of the UN Foundation Mashable Digital Media Lounge at the 92nd St Y. She is pitch perfect on how the week moved her from overwhelmed on global problems to seeing the power of one, and specifically leveraging her substantive on-line expertise.  Her post "It's All About People Contributing to a Collective Idea" is here.

October is Work and Family month in the US and I'll be trying to post more often this month as well as participating in some blog carnivals on relevant topics that I'll share with you as the month proceeds.  Final note, a few changes coming for the site, more on that front soon!

I would be honored if you would subscribe via email or RSS on the right hand side of the page as we explore all manner of topics connected to living with integrity and balance.
