The X-Spot: Performance and Your Family

Start Happy
When I was a little girl my dad always woke me up singing this verse. And it made me anything but glad! Mainly because he couldn’t sing but also because I l liked to sleep in. I didn’t realize it, but my dad was actually priming my brain for a happier day- on purpose. How…

Wild + Brave Trailblazer
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done… she said with with a glow of accomplishment. The smile on her face was equal parts I-can’t-believe-I-did-that and I’m-way-stronger-than-I-thought.

Happy Mother’s Day to Our Mom
Not everyone has a mom they can look up to, and lean on. Who keeps record of their good moments, reminds them of their strength, and treats them with kindness and respect. A mother who makes time for them, and doesn’t wait for holidays or emergencies to show up and pay attention. Who doesn’t take…
