(Video) It is Time to Clean My Lens?
When my son Jonah was in elementary school and we would get in to a disagreement or a sticky spot (he negotiated everything), he would often hold up his hands in a time-out sign and say, “Mom, can we do a re-set?” I shared with him the value of “dropping history” (don’t dredge up the past) at an early age and he became my greatest teacher around re-setting and keeping your perspective in check.

Each Monday after my morning nature workout, I offer up a question I’m sitting with for the week via a 2-minute “first take” down and dirty video. This week I’m asking, “Is it time to clean your lens?” My musician son Jonah (19) is one of my greatest teachers around this lesson! Shameless mama plug: Check out his latest jazz album!
