With the passing of Stephen Hawking last week, I want to take a moment to raise a glass and honor his life. Stephen Hawking was a world renowned theoretical physicist who inspired millions, both with his work and his battle with ALS. Whether you have read his book, A Brief History of Time, watched the movie about his life, The Theory of Everything, or have just heard about him continue reading...

Life moves very fast these days. Everywhere you look you are bombarded with billboards, ads, commercials and the next "shiny thing" that is meant to grab your attention. Instinctively and over time, you learn to turn it off. You learn to not hear all of the commotion around you; Not see the blinking lights.

I have a confession to make - I have watched every single season of Big Brother. I am a huge fan of several different reality shows (Survivor, the Bachelor franchise, and Amazing Race among them), so I'm always engaged in a new reality "saga."

If you do nothing else for yourself this season, I highly recommend that you give yourself a little gift. Did you get a chance to read the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio or did you see the movie? You may remember that Auggie's teacher, Mr. Browne, introduces the kids to precepts. Each and every month, Mr. Browne introduces a precept - or words to live by - and encourages the kids continue reading...

It is a fairly common joke that people make, asking about the voices in your head. While this joke is usually geared towards ideas of mental illness, the truth is that we all have voices in our heads.
