Madelyn Simon - Writer & Artist: Poppy's Sweet Sibling Story. This is episode 767 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Madelyn Simon is a proud native New Yorker who grew up with a love of nature… especially plants and animals. She loved it so much that in 1979 she started Madelyn Simon & Associates Inc. where they designed, installed, and maintained live plants both indoors and out. The company grew (forgive the pun) and serviced 700 corporate clients weekly until she retired in 2006. When her daughter was young, she would ask Madelyn to dream up stories to share each night before bed. Not one, not two, but three stories every night before they could turn off the light. Now, Madelyn wants to share these stories with the world. In 2006, after retirement, watercolor painting and oil painting became her passions, as well as a rekindling of her love of storytelling. When her daughter was young, she would ask Madelyn to dream up stories to share each night before bed. Not one, not two, but three stories every night before they could turn off the light. Now, Madelyn wants to share these stories with the world. Our focus today is Madelyn's book - Poppy's Sweet Sibling Story. The 7th story in her series. Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing!

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Naomi recap All Stars 10, Episode 7. They kick things off with thoughts on the Wicked movie. The purple bracket has arrived, and they break down the queens' entrance looks, including the return of Acid Betty. They talk working in pairs, the queens unafraid to be “ugly,” and if Cynthia is the last true Miss Congeniality. They get into the evolution of the meaning of Trade on Drag Race. Bob names two queens who understand fashion better than anyone else on Drag Race and picks standout looks and storylines from the challenge. Finally, they wonder—are producers trying to make Acid Betty snap?—and make their picks for who moves on from this bracket. Thanks to our sponsors: Work on your financial goals through Chime today.

Story Transcript:Nl: Een zachte bries speelde door de bomen langs de smalle kanalen van Giethoorn.En: A gentle breeze played through the trees along the narrow canals of Giethoorn.Nl: De zon scheen fel over de groene velden en het geluid van eendjes kwakte vredig.En: The sun shone brightly over the green fields, and the sound of ducks quacked peacefully.Nl: Lotte en Bram stonden voor het oude boerderijtje van hun grootouders.En: Lotte and Bram stood in front of their grandparents' old farmhouse.Nl: De herinneringen van zomers vol vreugde en warmte hingen als de geur van versgebakken brood rond het huis.En: The memories of summers full of joy and warmth hung around the house like the smell of freshly baked bread.Nl: Lotte, praktisch en doelgericht, zag mogelijkheden.En: Lotte, practical and goal-oriented, saw possibilities.Nl: "We kunnen het verkopen, Bram," zei ze terwijl ze naar de verweerde stenen muren keek.En: "We can sell it, Bram," she said as she looked at the weathered stone walls.Nl: "We kunnen de opbrengst gebruiken voor iets nieuws, iets wat ons meer zal opleveren."En: "We can use the proceeds for something new, something that will yield us more."Nl: Bram, haar jongere broer, staarde naar de kleine vijver waar hij als kind urenlang had gevist.En: Bram, her younger brother, stared at the small pond where he had spent hours fishing as a child.Nl: "Dit huis is vol verhalen en herinneringen," zei hij met een zweem van melancholie.En: "This house is full of stories and memories," he said with a hint of melancholy.Nl: "Opa en oma hielden van deze plek.En: "Grandpa and grandma loved this place.Nl: Het hoort bij onze familie."En: It belongs to our family."Nl: Lotte zuchtte.En: Lotte sighed.Nl: Een groot deel van haar begreep Bram.En: A big part of her understood Bram.Nl: Maar haar aankoopplannen in de stad waren zo verleidelijk.En: But her plans for a purchase in the city were so tempting.Nl: Ze had gespaard voor een nieuw leven dat dit soort nostalgische banden niet nodig had.En: She had saved for a new life that didn't need these kinds of nostalgic ties.Nl: Toch, iets in Brams stem liet haar twijfelen.En: Yet, something in Bram's voice made her doubt.Nl: Terwijl de middagzon steeds lager zakte, besloten de twee de boerderij nog één keer binnen te gaan.En: As the afternoon sun sank lower and lower, the two decided to enter the farmhouse one more time.Nl: De geur van stof en oud hout vulde de lucht.En: The smell of dust and old wood filled the air.Nl: Ze liepen door de kamers waar ze als kinderen verstoppertje hadden gespeeld.En: They walked through the rooms where they had played hide and seek as children.Nl: Herinneringen lachten hen toe vanuit elke hoek.En: Memories laughed at them from every corner.Nl: Bram vond een lade die nog nooit eerder zo veel aandacht had gekregen.En: Bram found a drawer that had never received much attention before.Nl: Tot hun verrassing lag er een handgeschreven brief in die lade.En: To their surprise, there was a handwritten letter in that drawer.Nl: De letter bleek van hun grootouders.En: The handwriting turned out to be from their grandparents.Nl: "Zorg goed voor onze plek," stond er.En: "Take good care of our place," it read.Nl: "Dit huis is een plek vol liefde.En: "This house is a place full of love.Nl: Voor de familie.En: For the family.Nl: Voor de zomeravonden.En: For the summer evenings.Nl: Voor jullie."En: For you."Nl: Lotte las de woorden langzaam en haar ogen vulden zich met tranen.En: Lotte slowly read the words and her eyes filled with tears.Nl: Ze voelde een warmte die haar eerdere gedachten verving.En: She felt a warmth that replaced her earlier thoughts.Nl: "Misschien kunnen we een middenweg vinden," stelde ze voor.En: "Maybe we can find a middle ground," she suggested.Nl: "We kunnen het huis houden en als een vakantieplekje gebruiken.En: "We can keep the house and use it as a vacation spot.Nl: Misschien kunnen we het ook soms verhuren."En: Maybe we can also rent it out sometimes."Nl: Bram glimlachte.En: Bram smiled.Nl: Het idee beviel hem.En: The idea pleased him.Nl: "En zo kunnen we het behouden en ook iets praktisch doen," stemde hij in.En: "And this way, we can keep it and also do something practical," he agreed.Nl: Het leek de beste oplossing.En: It seemed like the best solution.Nl: In de laatste stralen van de zon kwamen ze gezamenlijk tot een beslissing.En: In the last rays of the sun, they came to a joint decision.Nl: Het huis zou blijven, levend als het hart van hun familie.En: The house would remain, living as the heart of their family.Nl: Daar, in de stille schoonheid van Giethoorn, was de band tussen Lotte en Bram sterker dan ooit.En: There, in the quiet beauty of Giethoorn, the bond between Lotte and Bram was stronger than ever.Nl: Ze hadden beiden een nieuwe waardering gevonden; Lotte voor de kracht van herinneringen, en Bram voor de mogelijkheid die verandering kon bieden.En: They had both found a new appreciation; Lotte for the power of memories, and Bram for the opportunity that change could bring.Nl: En zo keerde de rust terug in de oude boerderij, om een nieuw hoofdstuk te verwelkomen.En: And so, peace returned to the old farmhouse, to welcome a new chapter.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Sibling Adventures: A Magical Day at Beijing's Summer Palace Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-06-15-22-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 北京的夏季,阳光洒在颐和园的昆明湖上,湖水泛起闪亮的波纹。En: In the summer of Beijing, sunlight shone on the Summer Palace's Kunming Lake, and the lake water sparkled with shimmering ripples.Zh: 梅琳和俊第一次来到北京,跟随父母的工作行程。En: Meilin and Jun visited Beijing for the first time, accompanying their parents on a work trip.Zh: 但父母忙于工作,梅琳负责照顾弟弟。En: However, their parents were busy with work, so Meilin was responsible for taking care of her younger brother.Zh: 他们走在颐和园的长廊间,四周是来来往往的游客,许多人拿着相机记录下美丽的瞬间。En: They strolled through the long corridors of the Summer Palace, surrounded by coming and going tourists, many of whom were holding cameras to capture beautiful moments.Zh: 梅琳紧紧握住俊的小手,生怕他走丢。En: Meilin tightly held Jun's little hand, afraid he might get lost.Zh: 但俊充满好奇心,一会儿想要看看莲花,一会儿又想跑去看假山。En: But Jun was full of curiosity; one moment he wanted to look at the lotus flowers, the next he wanted to run off to see the rockeries.Zh: “姐姐,那是什么?”俊指着远处,一条船慢慢划过湖面,船上有穿着古装的人在拍照。En: "Sister, what's that?" Jun pointed into the distance where a boat was slowly gliding across the lake, and people dressed in ancient costumes were taking pictures on it.Zh: 俊总是被周围的事物吸引,梅琳有些疲惫不堪。En: Jun was always attracted by the things around him, leaving Meilin a bit exhausted.Zh: 她想到了一个好主意,“俊,我们来玩个游戏吧。En: She thought of a good idea, "Jun, let's play a game.Zh: 我们假装自己是古代的皇帝和公主,在这里探险。En: Let's pretend we're ancient emperors and princesses exploring here."Zh: 俊的眼睛亮了起来,充满了兴奋,因为这个新冒险让他留在姐姐身边。En: Jun's eyes lit up with excitement, as this new adventure kept him close to his sister.Zh: 两人假装自己穿越时空,穿过大大小小的亭台楼阁,还给这些地方起了奇妙的名字:凤凰台、龙居室。En: The two of them pretended to travel through time, passing through various pavilions and towers, giving these places magical names: Phoenix Terrace, Dragon Habitat.Zh: 然而,当他们到达湖边时,人群挤满了岸边,俊忽然发现一队乐师在演奏,他兴奋地跑过去。En: However, when they reached the lakeside, the shore was crowded with people, and suddenly Jun spotted a group of musicians playing music and excitedly ran over.Zh: 尽管梅琳一再叮嘱不要乱跑,这次梅琳没抓住他的小手,一瞬间失去了他的踪影。En: Despite Meilin's repeated warnings not to run off, this time Meilin failed to catch his little hand, and in an instant, lost sight of him.Zh: 梅琳的心一下子提到了嗓子眼,她焦虑地搜寻着周围的人群,终于在不远处看到了俊,他正站在乐师前,全神贯注地盯着他们。En: Meilin's heart leapt into her throat, and she anxiously searched the crowd around her until she finally spotted Jun not far away, standing in front of the musicians, completely engrossed in watching them.Zh: “俊!”梅琳叫道,跑过去抱住他,心中悬着的石头终于落下。En: "Jun!" Meilin called out, running over to hug him, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell.Zh: 俊回头笑着说:“姐姐,他们的音乐真好听。”En: Jun turned back with a smile, saying, "Sister, their music is so nice."Zh: 梅琳舒了一口气,拉着俊在草地上坐下,静静地听着乐师奏出的旋律,湖水和微风伴奏,看着昆明湖的迷人景色。En: Meilin breathed a sigh of relief, sat down with Jun on the grass, quietly listening to the melody played by the musicians, with the lake water and breeze as accompaniment, enjoying the enchanting view of Kunming Lake.Zh: 她意识到某些时候需要放宽心,去享受这段简单快乐的时光。En: She realized that sometimes it's necessary to relax and enjoy these simple moments of happiness.Zh: 离开颐和园时,梅琳和俊的心情都很轻松。En: As they left the Summer Palace, both Meilin and Jun felt light-hearted.Zh: 他们不仅看到了风景,也学会了如何更好地相处和体验。En: They not only saw the scenery but also learned how to better get along and experience things together.Zh: 梅琳发现,只要用心去发现,每一刻都可以充满乐趣与惊喜。En: Meilin discovered that as long as you pay attention, every moment can be filled with fun and surprises.

Sibling relationships have the power to shape a child's character and future in profound ways. These relationships are often the first training ground for learning forgiveness, humility, patience, and selfless love. And God is not silent about how we're to treat one another—even in the smallest corners of the home.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you…" — John 13:34Teaching siblings to love one another doesn't begin with behavior correction—it begins with heart formation. It's not about getting kids to simply “get along.” It's about helping them see each other as image-bearers of God, placed in the same family for a reason.Here are a few ways to disciple your children in sibling love:* Model it – Show grace and respect in your own relationships. Children replicate what they see.* Pray for one another out loud – Let siblings hear each other's needs lifted to God. It softens hearts.* Teach peacemaking, not just peacekeeping – Train them to work through conflict biblically, not just avoid it.* Celebrate one another – Encourage them to cheer each other on rather than compete for attention.* Speak blessing – Teach them to use their words to build, not tear down.Sibling rivalry isn't new—it's been around since Cain and Abel. But in Christ, our homes can be different. God wants to use sibling relationships to build unity, sharpen character, and reflect His love.If your children struggle with tension, don't lose hope. Ask the Holy Spirit to move in their hearts. Begin praying for a spirit of unity and kindness between them—and don't stop. God cares deeply about what's happening between your children.Question of the Day:What's one way you can help your children grow in love and unity toward each other this week?Mini Call to Action:Lead your children in a short time of praying for one another today. Even one sentence each. Watch what begins to shift.Let's Pray:Lord, teach our children to love each other as You have loved them. Help us lead by example. Let our home be filled with grace, patience, and a Spirit of unity. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The love your children learn to give each other at home will shape how they love the world.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

It softens hearts.* Teach peacemaking, not just peacekeeping – Train them to work through conflict biblically, not just avoid it.* Celebrate one another – Encourage them to cheer each other on rather than compete for attention.* Speak blessing – Teach them to use their words to build, not tear down.Sibling rivalry isn't new—it's been around since Cain and Abel. But in Christ, our homes can be different. God wants to use sibling relationships to build unity, sharpen character, and reflect His love.If your children struggle with tension, don't lose hope. Ask the Holy Spirit to move in their hearts. Begin praying for a spirit of unity and kindness between them—and don't stop. God cares deeply about what's happening between your children.Question of the Day:What's one way you can help your children grow in love and unity toward each other this week?Mini Call to Action:Lead your children in a short time of praying for one another today. Even one sentence each. Watch what begins to shift.Let's Pray:Lord, teach our children to love each other as You have loved them. Help us lead by example. Let our home be filled with grace, patience, and a Spirit of unity. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The love your children learn to give each other at home will shape how they love the world.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Yuki reasoned in a calm voice.Ja: 「将来のためにも、現実的な選択じゃないかな。」En: "Isn't it a realistic choice for the future?"Ja: 列が前に進むにつれて、ヒロシは考え込むように口を閉じた。En: As the line moved forward, Hiroshi closed his mouth thoughtfully.Ja: 「わかってる。でも、思い出がたくさん詰まってる家だよ」と彼は静かに言った。En: "I understand, but it's a house full of memories," he said quietly.Ja: ユキもまた、家を渡すことに躊躇がないわけではなかった。En: Yuki also wasn't entirely without hesitation about handing over the house.Ja: 「実は、私もあの家を恋しく思うことがある。En: "Actually, I do feel nostalgic about that house.Ja: ねえ、覚えてる?En: Hey, do you remember?Ja: あの庭でピクニックしたこと、桜の木の下で。”と彼女は目を細め、懐かしい記憶を話し出した。En: Those picnics in the garden, under the sakura tree," she said, narrowing her eyes as she began to recount the fond memories.Ja: ヒロシは驚いた。En: Hiroshi was surprised.Ja: 「ユキがそんなこと言うなんて…」彼は姉の話に耳を傾け、共感していることを感じた。En: "I didn't expect you to say that..." He listened to his sister's story, feeling a sense of empathy.Ja: 「でも、それでも?」En: "But even so?"Ja: それでも、ユキは「私も家のことを忘れることはできないけど、今が家族全体にとって大事な時期だから、もう少し考えたほうがいいと思う」と彼を優しく説得する。En: Even so, Yuki gently persuaded him, "I can't forget about the house either, but since it's an important time for the whole family now, I think we should consider it a bit more."Ja: ヒロシは黙りこくる。En: Hiroshi fell silent.Ja: そして、しばらく考えた後、頷いた。En: After thinking for some time, he nodded.Ja: 「お姉ちゃんがそう言うなら、もう少し考える時間を持とう」と言い、自分の感情と思慮を同時に抱くことを初めて認識した。En: "If you say so, onee-chan, let's take more time to think," he said, realizing for the first time the simultaneous embrace of his emotions and thoughtfulness.Ja: 列はさらに前進し、投票所の入り口が見えてきた。En: The line moved further forward, and the entrance to the polling station came into view.Ja: ユキは安堵の笑みを浮かべ、「投票が終わったら、両親とじっくり話そう」と提案した。En: Yuki let out a relieved smile and proposed, "Once the voting is over, let's have a thorough conversation with our parents."Ja: ヒロシもまた微笑み返す。En: Hiroshi also returned her smile.Ja: 「わかった。En: "Got it.Ja: 思い出と現実のバランスを取らなきゃね。」En: We have to balance memories and reality, right?"Ja: 二人は新たな決意を胸に、前へと歩み出した。En: The two stepped forward with a new resolve.Ja: 彼らの間には、より深い理解が生まれていた。En: Between them, a deeper understanding had been born.

When finance and mission meet, it's often a delicate dance—but Terri Sorrentino, Director of Finance and Administration at Friends of Karen, shows that collaboration can be both powerful and transformative. In this candid and compassionate episode, Terri walks us through how her organization supports families of children facing life-threatening illnesses and how operational departments—often hidden from public view—become the engine behind meaningful impact.FriendsOfKaren.org serves over 1,200 children annually, most battling cancer. What sets them apart? A comprehensive approach that uplifts the entire family—from social workers who visit homes and hospitals to child life specialists focused on siblings, all delivered with empathy and financial relief. Yet behind this emotional mission is a finely tuned financial machine—and a finance leader who sees herself not as a gatekeeper, but a guide.Terri shares the often unseen tension between program needs and accounting rules, especially in emotionally charged scenarios. "Everyone has their role and every role is important...we're all trying to get to the same place, which is to help the families," she shares. Her approach centers on open communication, mutual respect, and ongoing staff education on budgeting and reporting.Terri also dives into the evolving demands of grant reporting, emphasizing that funders now want more than expense breakdowns. They seek data-driven impact narratives that quantify emotional and advocacy-based work—especially the cost of social workers, a vital but often overlooked pillar of the mission.This informative dialog explores how organizations can better prepare for audits without compromising compassion, and how relationships between finance, fundraising, and programming must be built on shared goals, not silos. Through storytelling and systems thinking, Terri exemplifies how to lead with heart and structure—ensuring that every dollar, spreadsheet, and report ultimately serves the mission.00:00:00 Welcome and guest introductions 00:02:29 Mission of Friends of Karen 00:03:35 Sibling support and family-centered care 00:05:11 How COVID strengthened operations 00:06:47 Finance's role in a mission-driven nonprofit 00:07:40 Three pillars: fundraising, finance, programming 00:10:09 Managing stress across departments 00:12:27 Building comfort with budgeting and numbers 00:15:04 Balancing compassion with compliance 00:16:30 The growing demands of grant reporting 00:21:12 Fast vs. meaningful reporting 00:24:26 Defining true mission costs for donors #NonprofitLeadership #MissionDrivenImpactFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this BLBD episode, author Kristina Amelong joins me to share the deeply personal journey behind her memoir What My Brother Knew. Through honest conversations and reflection, Kristina explores the life and death of her brother, who died at the age of 13 in a bicycle accident – which he knew would happen. How did he know? How did the family deal with this? How did exploring this family trauma over many years become a path of healing for his sister? What does it mean to carry a sibling's story forward with care and courage? This episode offers a poignant look at grief, memory, and the power of telling our truths.https://www.kristinaamelong.com/facebook.com/kristina.amelonginstagram.com/optimalhealthnetwork

This story is inspired by 2 Samuel 13. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Samuel 13:30 from the King James Version.Episode 104: David was blessed with many children, yet because of his many marriages, this made for dysfunction rather than joy; such as the lust that Amnon had for his half-sister Tamar. He schemed with his friend Jonadab to feign sickness and raped her as she was caring for him. Running in shame to her brother Absalom she told him all that had happened.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Naomi are back to recap All Stars 10, Episode 3.

My Daughters took over the podcast this week! Interviewing Justin Whitmel Early about his new KIDS BOOK - "The Big Mess" ➡️ Why finding God in family life means embracing the mess, not avoiding it ➡️ How to create intentional spaces where your older kids will actually talk to you ➡️ The simple prayer that can transform frustrating parenting moments ➡️ Why throwing food might be good for your family (seriously!) This episode is filled with giggles, wisdom, and practical advice for dads navigating the beautiful chaos of family life. FULL SHOW NOTES: https://www.dadawesome.org/blog/382 SUMMARY: The Zaugg girls take over the podcast! In this special episode, Justin Whitmel Earley joins the four sisters to discuss his delightful new children's book, "The Big Mess." Discover why creating giant desserts (and sometimes destroying them) can teach profound lessons about forgiveness, sibling relationships, and finding God in the beautiful chaos of family life. Plus, hear why the girls are planning their own rooftop cookie adventure and how throwing pancakes across the kitchen can become a cherished family tradition. TAKEAWAYS The best relationship-building moments with your children happen in the mess, not by avoiding or controlling it. As kids grow older, shift from structured rhythms to creating intentional spaces where deeper conversations can happen naturally. Relationship is built in shared activity—invite your children into your projects, even when it means things will take longer or be done imperfectly. A "pause prayer" before disciplining your children can transform how you respond to frustrating situations. The reconciliation between siblings can be generative, creating joy that extends beyond your family to bless your entire neighborhood. GUEST Justin Whitmel Earley is the bestselling author of "The Common Rule," "Habits of the Household," and "Mate." He's also the founder of The Hang Ten Movement, which encourages parents to wait until 10th grade before giving their children smartphones. Justin lives with his wife and four sons near Richmond, Virginia, where they enjoy building (and sometimes smashing) enormous desserts in their kitchen and driveway.
