196. The Parable of the Kites

A Force To Be Reckoned With

Have you ever flown a kite?

Let's take a moment to appreciate the simple joy of watching a kite dance in the sky. There's something magical about it, right? It's like a metaphor for life itself – a delicate balance between control and letting go.

We'll share personal stories like our son's leap into independence, his challenges grasping the strings without guidance, and the triumph of his eventual success. It's a narrative that mirrors our own struggles as we explore the lessons hidden in the simple moments.
We'll chat about everyday leadership and parenting, finding that sweet spot between holding on tight and letting our kids soar. And oh, let's not forget about that one time our kite decided to take off on its own adventure! Through that experience, we learned the power of acceptance and finding peace in things beyond our control.

So, grab a cup of coffee and join us as we unravel these stories. Let's embark on this journey together, spreading the joy and wisdom one kite tale at a time.
