Global Life Skills Day

Written By: Sandi MacCalla ~ 10/17/2022

Global Life Skills Day is celebrated on the 3rd Thursday of October annually (10/20/22) internationally. Every culture is acknowledged for those impassioned to teach needed life skills to their emerging generations. Most people believe this education happens at home or school. But, as we’ve heard and seen worldwide, it is not.

The Global Presence (The Global Presence - Parenting 2.0 (parenting2pt0.org) is an amazing volunteer network of professionals providing vital training/experience for successful adulthood. Marlaine Cover, the Founder of Parenting 2.0 (an international consciousness movement) in 2009, has amassed over 9,000 educators, practitioners, and related professionals in over 100 countries. Marlaine shares her personal journey of adulting in her family, and the life lessons she experienced Amazon.com: kissing the mirror, marlaine cover. She transparently walks through pivotal life events in understanding, growing, surviving, and succeeding today. Marlaine’s story is one that opened me to a transformational understanding of adulting and purpose.

There are profound points in her book that are indelibly printed on my brain and heart, but I won’t spoil your discovery of them … completely.

This is my favorite of them all:

“Free will merely permits you to determine the amount of pain or joy
you and others endure until you learn a better way of doing things.”

That is the heart of what inspired me to start LifeSkills Academy before I even learned Marlaine’s story. It speaks to my belief that we can partner, support, and collaborate with each other to learn that ‘better way of doing things.’
