"Creating Stars" by Steve Adams

I watched a video of a British artist named Jacob Collier.  What immediately struck me was how incredibly talented he was.  Improvising a song with a 50-piece orchestra, including the entire audience and being pitch perfect, was something I had never seen before.  I marveled at the potential this young man has.  He came from a supportive but unconventional family and yet has achieved numerous Grammys while still in his 20’s.

This made me reflect on my own life.  Many of you know we have a rather large adopted family.  As the kids came into our lives, my goal from the very first one was to encourage them to follow their dreams and be the best at that within their means.

Being a parent is such a rewarding gift, but for me, seeing our children all develop in the challenging situations they came from into amazing professional talent was, and IS, amazingly humbling.  I guess that is what parents DO, though.  Our job is to provide the love and structure for our children to find their own greatness.
