Be kind to your mind!

I hope everyone is hanging in there. Spring break is just a few weeks away!

This time of year can be exciting, crazy, busy, and stressful. Make sure you are checking in on yourself and giving space for quiet; give yourself permission for a time out.

Celebrate Women's History Month

This month we are celebrating Women's History Month. Who is the most influential woman in your life? Your mother, grandmother, sister, friend, teacher, or mentor? I have to say, at my age I have many inspiring women to look up to. What they have in common is they stay strong to their beliefs and they show compassion when it is sometimes hard to do so.

Check out these non-fiction books and biographies focusing on the accomplishments and trials of women of all ages throughout history and in the present day.
