IMPORTANCE
Images
Joy is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It spreads through art and literature.
It is the small, stubborn light that remains when everything feels scorched.
I do not chase happiness. I prefer joy. It asks little and gives generously.
When I linger with what is good, my heart steadies.
When I offer joy to others, it multiplies, softening anxiety, easing pain, making spaces.
Hope, like a bird, that nestles in the soul and sings even in the storm.
I hold both light and darkness. I witness what happens. I allow myself to be transformed. And still, I choose to illuminate.
The importance of constant reading and continued education.
TO SERVE OTHERS

WILD WORDS
Images
Edgar Allan Poe, poet, author, and editor - “Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
The Raven shows that experience is the best teacher. When Poe mentioned the exquisite horror of their reality, it suddenly takes us back to a big realization in life, failures, and rejections, can be the worst kind of experiences. If you ever heard folks say “You cannot change people” believe them. No advice is enough to change and shift people’s perspectives, but it is fine to call them out.
THE KISS

This Babylonian clay tablet of a nude couple embracing on a bed, circa 1800 B.C. is considered to be the first recorded kiss.
According to a new study, the fine art of intimate kissing is 1K years older and was far more widespread than previously thought.
DAY OF DEAD

El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a day of celebration, particularly for the people in Mexico and Central America, and for many Mexican Americans in the United States. It is a day to honor and commemorate the lives of the dearly departed and to welcome the return of their spirits.
