Why I Love to Write by Hand

When I was in 5th grade, I won my class’s handwriting contest. I realize that this might seem like a quaint idea by today’s standards. Do children even practice their handwriting anymore?

Using your imagination and playing make-believe is important for a child’s development, and it helps them explore their different passions long before adult responsibilities come into their lives.…

Morning Gratitude Prayer

Here’s an interesting thought. I have a feeling that we determine whether we’ll have a good day or a bad day within just a few minutes of waking up. Really! If you can start your day off on the right foot, you’ll be more likely to stay happy for the remainder of the day. The…
