Thank you for sharing this…it made my day!! It also reminded me how important it is to both express and accept validation.

I will be posting it on GO! Smell the Coffee on 8/22/09. http://gosmellthecoffee.com/

Hello, Clueless -

It had the same effect on me, and I just had to put it up. I’ll keep on the lookout for others that might complement what we’re all writing about.

My best to you =

John

John,

I loved this video! What’s so interesting about this is that only last week, I saw another Kurt Kuenne documentary, “Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about his Father,” which shattered me. I hadn’t heard of him before–but I am so impressed with his approach to film.

I also caught your latest post on the Depression site–way to go, John! You will reach so many more people this way.

Take care,

Melinda

Hi, Melinda -

I’ve been to the Dear Zachary website and will try to get the DVD. Kuenne has amazing talents. Thanks for letting us know how powerful the full-length film is.

My best to you — John
