Mikki’s response to adversity

Expression vs. Supression
Not everyone approved of my choice to allow my boy to own a "girls toy." The most vocal critic was an extreme Christian conservative named Joshua. He posted a video rant against me, using his own children to make a disturbing point. I left the following comment on Joshua's video: "Joshua, I'm the "no cojones" dad who lets his boys play with dollies. No, I'm not at all offended. I love that my little video has stirred up so much good conversation. Anything that has people look deeper into better ways to raise kids is valuable in my book... In a world divided by differences I believe it takes more "cojones" to unite than to fight. That said, let's talk. Man to man. Brother to brother. All in good spirit. Game?" To his credit, Joshua responded to me privately. We set a date to meet via Skype. Just before that happened, CBS saw my comment on his thread and invited us to meet face to face on the show The Doctors. We agreed. The Doctors airs THIS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th @ 11a. Our segment is at the very top of the show! See the show here: www.ElevateFamily.us/doctors PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE! Thank you friends for all your love and support!
