It’s the little things that make your day, right?
A smile first thing in the morning from someone you love. A nice little exchange with the first person you see out of the house. Or getting the kids packed off for the day and realizing today’s Forum hour (on KQED 88.5, our local NPR station) is something you’re totally interested in.
Today’s episode of Forum was on the self-employed – why rates of self-employment seem to be ticking up in the midst of the recession, how you might determine if it’s a good idea, what the benefits are, etc.
Lots of good discussion. And wouldn’t you know it, Parents Guild got a mention right at the end of the broadcast!
Audio: Forum on KQED talks about Parents Guild (26 seconds)
The host, Dave Iverson, says:
Here’s an interesting idea… this person saw an opportunity in parenting. Andrea writes, “I felt as a parent there was a lot that was sorely missing [on the internet], and so starting something called Parents Guild. I took this plunge because I saw that there was a need, Parenting is HARD, and the opportunity to help others was something I wanted to pursue.”
I’m so amazed that something that was just an idea without a name 9 months ago is something that has now had its first mention on radio. Is any of this real?!
Happy 4th of July everyone! And, don’t forget, only 2 days left to participate in our contest and win $100!
