Stop It! A trip down memory lane

Recently, after whining somewhat incessantly to a good friend (let's call her "MB"), she playfully asked me to look up and watch this old clip of Bob Newhart in which he satirizes his long-time psychologist character.

I had vaguely remembered this bit, but had forgotten how damn funny it was. And really, after all of the hair-pulling and chest-beating and drama has been exhausted, what is there to do but just finally "stop it"?

I'm pretty sure I owe MB at least $5...

The Girl Effect

Wowza! This was too inspiring not to share with everyone. I've belonged to the organization CARE for many years, and they recently sent me notification of this video:


According to CARE: "There are 75 million children not in school across the world, and the majority of these children are girls. Yet investing in girls' education pays off in so many ways. When girls gain basic skills like reading and writing, they grow up to earn twice as much money as their peers without education. They have fewer, healthier children. And they are more likely to reinvest their earnings in their families and communities. That's the power of education!"

So take a few moments, play this video and let yourself be inspired by the power of simple acts. It will be worth it, I promise.
