Working at a public library, I encounter a lot of books. And I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I do see a lot of covers as I’m shelving. I can’t help but judge them. One picture book that instantly caught my eye was “Bodies Are Cool,” by Tyler Feder.

The truth does not cease to exist when it is forgotten.You know how you can read or hear something dozens of times in dozens of different ways before it finally sinks in? The little truths listed below fall firmly into that category — timeless life lessons that many of us likely learned years ago, and have been reminded of ever since, yet for whatever reason we tend to forget in the heat of the moment.This, my friends, is my attempt at helping all of us, myself included, “get it” and “remember it” once and for all, especially as we collectively cope with the evolving struggles in the world today…Reminder: Our 6th annual Think Better, Live Better conference just took place this past weekend in Orlando.

It seems like the entire world has watched the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial over the past several weeks. And, after three long days of deliberation, the jury finally reached a verdict on Wednesday.

After the tragic shooting of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, I’ve seen multiple posts on social media proposing solutions to prevent the disproportionate amount of school shootings that happen in the United States. From banning guns, having security guards at schools, to requiring metal detectors, it seems like everyone has an opinion about what should be done. However, some solutions aren’t for everyone.
