PBS’s ‘This Emotional Life’: ‘Living the New Normal’ in a Military Family

There’s a phrase being tossed around military installations, “living in the new normal.” It means that this — this life of repeated deployments, prosthetics and memorial services — is what life is going to look like for us for a while to come, so we had better learn to deal with it.

My son was just two weeks old the first time his father deployed to Afghanistan. My husband was on his third deployment there when our son turned four and our daughter was born.

Farewell for Now, HuffImpact — It’s Time to Practice What You’ve Taught Me

HuffImpact readers, I have some sad but hopeful news to announce: I will be taking an extended leave from The Huffington Post to practice what we preach.

While launching and coaxing Impact towards success during the last five months, I’ve learned some powerful lessons from the stories we’ve told and the people we’ve featured. Here, I’ve learned to stop and listen: to refrain from judgment or hasty action until I can fully empathize with those who need help and understand the problems they face.
