I believe I am clear about my values, someone who has pulled out and examined issues and my position on them. However, having an old-soul-near-teen has altered that perception of myself.
Of course, there are the run of the mill everyday opportunities to articulate your values:
- why it is important to be on time
- how we choose to spend or save money
- why we live into commitments we make
Add a provincial election:
- What does each party stand for?
- Do you vote for the party or the local representative?
And of course, the events in the US:
- What women’s rights are at stake?
- How do you discern fact from fiction in politics?
- How does a political agenda and technology shape the narrative and what you see in your news feed?
Having these deep and meaningful conversations with the Toad are really special moments – ones which shape us both.
