So I jumped into it with both feet.  It was exciting and terrifying all at the same time.  There’s something so amazing about watching young minds at work.  It’s also scary, in that it doesn’t take much of a misstep for them to write you off and shut down. This particular group of young ladies asked some incredible questions.  I was so impressed at their curiosity about diabetes.  I guess it makes sense, in that you hear about it almost everywhere.  Many of them have friends and family members that li...

You use cloth bags when grocery shopping; your house is fitted with CFL light bulbs; and you drive a hybrid. (Hopefully not a Prius, though.) But if you really want to get your hands dirty for the sake of saving the planet, here are 10 ways you can use Earth Week as an excuse to get active in your community. If none of these opportunities are near where you live, check out Serve.org or Volunteermatch.org to find a worthy cause nearby. 1.

This young lady, Markita Andrews, set a cookie-sales record that has yet to be broken. [...] CommentsSocial psychologists have been teaching this for years.

Well, it also takes a village — at best a supportive community, and at the least a few very good friends — to keep a person sane and happy. All of us need companionship, which is exactly why teenagers are texting their friends in the middle of dinner (TMI, BFF, OMG …), and why people who didn’t own a personal computer last year now have profiles on Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites. Maybe the first trick to finding friends is to befriend ourselves, and to become comfortable with silence, because no one has the power to make us feel okay with ourselves but us. But, lest we stay quiet for too long, here are 10 techniques to meet new friends, which I think everyone can benefit from, because, as I learned ...

Writes Laurel Walker in today’s Journal Sentinel: Anita Rodriguez, vice president for organizational strategy at the southeast Girl Scouts chapter, said, “The bottom line for us is we do not discriminate and the Girl Scouts did not kick her out” but worked to find a solution. Unfortunately, she said, the special needs troop that was tailored to the sedentary needs of the other three girls, including one with brittle bone disease, has disbanded after three meetings because parents and...
