Sometimes we follow beliefs that don’t serve our happiness, but that feel as if they reflect an accepted and inescapable way of life.

As much as I enjoy watching the snow fall outside my window as I work all snuggled up on the couch with blankets and pillows, I'm getting tired of losing my pencil in the layers every freakin' time I put it down. I know it's here somewhere....

We waste a lot of time trying to MAKE kids read. Readers are born when we LET kids read.
Mentors, show kids that you, an adult, can read and love books outside your lane, too. Stop acting embarrassed about reading “young.” Your kids see that.

Cooperation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kindheartedness. Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying, or exploitation; instead, you can be honest, truthful and transparent in your conduct

Do you have a child? Does your child go to school? Do they get the Scholastic book order thingies at their school? Then I recommend you buy the Scholastic edition of Voyage of the Dogs for them. It is literally the only way to show that you are a good parent.
