This is the first time that I have ever promoted something on my business page, but it's for my partner, of whom I am incredibly proud.
ONLY 6 hours left on her Kickstarter!!! (It ends at midnight tonight.)

14 years is long to time to work on anything...a skill, a project, parenting...it's good chunk of a human life.
My partner, Kirsten Lewis Bethmann, a world-renowned documentary family photographer, has just culminated such an undertaking in the launch of a Kickstarter for her book, UNSUPERVISED. Simply by portraying people's experiences with their family, she is able to profoundly connect us across culture, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation or most any other ways that we look, feel, see or hear differently than other people.
It will make you laugh and cry and want to hug those you hold dear.
For parents, it provides a visual antidote to thoughts and feelings that we, as parents, aren't doing things right or are alone in our challenges.
For kids, it offers hope that there may just be at least a few other families in the world that experience the messed up craziness of your own family.
Additionally in this moment, I know that many people in the US and around the world are feeling especially afraid, angry and hopeless.
UNSUPERVISED will help bring you back to your humanity, humility and compassion, through humor and honesty, beautifully celebrating our commonality through our experience of family.
Regardless of what fights may lie ahead, as Cory Henry preaches, "Don't forget what you're living for: don't forget what you're fighting for." UNSUPERVISED is one strong measure of hope that we can and will eventually come together because at the end of the day, we're all messy...so let's be messy together.
P.S. If you check it out and like what you find, PLEASE share it with your community.
