The pursuit of fun “The pursuit of fun” – what do those words bring up? Many adults have some sort of story that fun is for kids and that as adults we have to be serious. Who says? And, why should we listen to them? What if it is okay to have fun, to be […]

A chain reaction of kindness Today I learned about Rachel Joy Scott and the organization started in her memory, rachelschallenge.org. Rachel encouraged people to intentionally reach out to those in need.

The other kind of identity theft I heard a presentation about identity theft this morning. Sadly, this is a booming enterprise. However, there’s another kind of identity theft that is far more costly and damaging. And even worse, we have done it to ourselves.
