The meaning of virtue seems to be lost in our modern culture. We tend to associate virtue with being “good.” But what does that mean?

I’ll admit it! I am perpetually late to lots of things! Dropping the kids to school on time proves to be my family's biggest challenge!

When our lives are well ordered, we create a beautiful melody.

The secret in raising truly successful children (and being successful ourselves) lies not in the activities or careers we choose, but in the ways we choose to accomplish them.

As individuals, when we are lacking order, we strive for it. Many times we put pressure on ourselves to get our lives "in order,” or to attain more order than the people around us.

As a parent, I think we all want to, ultimately, do our best by our children. We want to do them justice by being the parents we’ve always believed we could be.It’s a noble ideal, and one that is much more difficult to achieve than we thought before actually becoming parents.

When the word justice is thrown around in TV shows, Facebook posts, and on protesters’ signs, it’s quite difficult to comprehend what it actually represents.

I grew up in a German household where working hard without complaining was a huge value we learned. When I complained about having to do a task, my mom used to say to me, “Kopf Hoch,” which is basically German for “Keep your head up.”

Everyone has heard of virtues and most of us have some understanding of what virtues are. It’s easy to see the value in improving how we live in virtue, the problem is it can be hard to know where to start.
