THE HANDS FREE PLEDGE I’m becoming Hands Free. I want to make memories, not to-do lists. I want to feel the squeeze of my child’s arms, not the pressure of overcommitment. I want to get lost in conver...
So go on, extraordinary one. Live and let live. Love and be loved. Bloom in time—in your own time. Now I see you for who you really are. And you are a wonder.
In that moment I made a vow. No matter what happens around me, no matter what I feel I need to do, I will never be the first to let go.
Ban the mirror. It cannot reflect how much you are loved.
Be an example of what it means to live presently, and continually verbalize the benefits you receive from living Hands Free.
Because it is in the moments that I choose what matters over distraction that I make lasting connections and create priceless memories with the people I love.
Choosing connection over distraction offers a chance to nurture your most sacred relationships — now and in the future.

Simply let go of distraction for one moment. In that moment, you have the power to make a significant connection with another human being. You have the opportunity to be in the right place at the righ...
It is in the times I least want to be Hands Free that I most need to be Hands Free.
It’s critical to see all you are rather than what’s missing, imperfect, unattractive, or broken. You see, there’s someone who looks at you and sees something he or she can hold on to. You’re a keeper.
Just be here, I thought to myself one night. Just be right where I am now, I vowed as I snuggled in close. Don’t think about the dishes piled in the sink, or the messages in the inbox, or the trash ne...
Let love start this day. Let love end this day. Let love transform the minutes in between.
Let me consider the possibilities for a moment: What might result if love becomes my default choice today? What opportunities might open up? What connections might be repaired? What moments might I ca...
No matter what I am in the middle of doing,No matter how inconvenient it is to look up, No matter how busy I think I am,When my children walk in the room,When my children hop in the car,When my childr...
