A Tiny Hand Growing Larger in Mine
Summer is here and my son is now six. Yesterday was his birthday, as well as the final day of school and kindergarten graduation, which meant steady bursts of buzzed emotion for the four of us, all throughout the day.

Happy Birthday Cindy
Today is Cindy’s birthday. Happy birthday, baby! You are the bestest friend I could ever hope to have. This year is already great and getting better! Here’s to the best one yet!

Fascinating stuff for sure. Most of the speakers have one thing in common – they’re talking about changing the world. Here are my thoughts. [...]
