Why do we always feel the need to divide up the world? Putting fences and walls up to keep some people in and turn others away. There is so much natural beauty in the world, why must we mar it with such barriers? Even oceans and beaches don't seem to be immune to man's need for dividing up the world. ...

Have you ever been told to tread lightly? To walk as if you were walking on egg shells? Maybe that applies to certain circumstances. However when it comes to children, they need the freedom to be adventurous. The freedom to explore nature and the world around them. Yes, we can set limits. Yes, we can offer our advice. But when ...

Graduation is a great time to thank everyone who helped you get where you are today. But not everyone gets to deliver a speech at graduation. So, how can you thank people?

Good old Lincoln Logs, oh how I miss you! I used to spend hours upon hours building houses and cabins with you. So many fun memories. But now there's a new toy in town. My crayola crayons. They are great for drawing, coloring and bringing imagination to life. Better still, they work well for making log cabins too! I'll admit, ...
