I'm still feeling an incredible rush of energy and enthusiasm following this morning's #WomenWhoLead event, sponsored by Women Deliver , @ Procter & Gamble , the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the Government of #France . 🇫🇷. In fact, one of the keynote speakers was Marlène Schiappa Bruguière French Minister in Charge of Equality between Women and Men, whose impassioned remarks were highlighted by a call for women to have leadership over their own bodies. Their power expands exponentially after that’s achieved. #womensempowerment #womenleaders #genderequality …see more

Today, just as it was six weeks ago when I wrote this, some are forced to put themselves in harm’s way to do what needs to be done. Many of us will have the shared experience of being alone. How will you “invest” your alone time?

Folk tales may be emotionally satisfying, but in this case, an unscientific narrative is guaranteed to be worse for everyone you love (and everyone else too).

We are having a heat wave.  And we have summer melt and slide for kids who move backward in terms of skills over the summer months. Unacceptable really.   This is true for reading and I want to offer a solution.  JOKES. Yes, really.  OK, I just co-authored a children's joke book related to giraffes (who face extinction by the by).  Joke writing, joke telling and joke reading all build skills with a laugh2learn approach.  They involve word play and word use and creativity and puns and common phrases.  Jokes are not as easy to write and tell as they appear.   There is a guide on the website www.ladylucysquest.com and the book is Lady Lucy's Laugh Giraffe Journey.  Available @BNBuzz and @Northshire.com. Both ship for free. Amazon is apparently out of stock.   I will be writing a longer piece on this topic  and have even thought of offering a joke camp for kids in the DC area --- to improve their skills. …see more
