Smiling Faces
We should be nurturers. We're supposed to be a community. We're supposed to listen, to talk with others. To ask, "How was your day?"

The Game of Life
In the 21st century we're in a constant race to stay ahead. We have to stay caught up on the latest trends, know the latest news, keep up with where Sarah went for Spring break, and the race continues. When we aren't ahead of the race, we're the ones who can't keep up in conversations, … Continue reading The Game of Life
