Steering in the right direction.....
 Busy putting our "business" in order under the leadership of consultants from SBCA. Immediate task on hand is research, research, research. We're looking to find a new home for "Talk About Parenting LIVE with Shirlee Smith". We are working to improve our visibility on the web and we're redesigning our website.
Look out 2013 - Here we come!

Incarcerated Moms had this to say:
"I take these classes because I donʼt want to raise my kids like my parents raised me."
"I want knowledge, knowledge, knowledge."
"At first I thought these classes were just a bunch of stuff and then I started really listening and I kept coming - glad I did. I learned stuff that I never would have thought mattered."

 What's your focus for the next few weeks? What's the conversation around your dinner table? Uh, the young people in our households know there's an important event coming up November 6th. Let's ask our younguns how they'd mark their ballot if they could vote. Depending on age, they can even make up a ballot.
Kids can accompany us to the polling place. Kids can even stand-by and watch us mark a mail-in ballot. (Read our featured blog "Now that she's 21, will she vote").
And those propositions on the California ballot - perfect discussion for the dinner table.
