What about school? Dealing with the Unknown for Our Children and Ourselves

ByJoe Martino July 23, 2020

The following is a post I wrote for a local publication regarding the upcoming school year and dealing with the unknown. I’m not a big fan of July. I especially dislike the middle of July. Not because of the heat. It means school is right around the corner. I hate that because I love having…

Respond, Don’t React–Live in tension. What a dumpster taught me about good decision making

ByJoe Martino August 6, 2020

Tuesdays are long days for me. I usually leave the house around 7:30 and I don't typically leave my office until about 9:15 that night. Usually, the trip home is punctuated with a stop at the dumpster to throw trash out. For a couple of months, I would transport the trash from our Grand Rapids…

Grieving in a time of grief.

ByJoe Martino April 2, 2020

So today, take a moment and think about people you know who are grieving over something other than the disruption this virus has caused in our world. I know those are the people who would have been on Marissa’s mind today.
Do something for them today. Write them a letter or email (you might have to google how to do this safely). Reach out to someone you know who might be missing someone today.
Then go and hug your loved ones living in your house. Tell them how much you love them.
None of us know what tomorrow holds.
