The 'super power' of humankind is our capacity to connect, it is regulating ,rewarding and the major route by which we can teach ,coach, parent and learn.

Be with each other. Celebrate diversity. Listen and learn from others. Share time, work and food.

YOUR HISTORY OF CONNECTNESS is a better predictor of health than YOUR HISTORY OF ADVERSITY.

-Bruce Perry
