How Did You Play When You Were a Child?


This week, my youngest is graduating from college.  All those things my elders said about how littler ones grow up so fast…turns out they were right.  What a good week to reach back into the archives for a greatest hit about the connection between holding onto a piece of childhood to enhance resilience as an adult.  Thanks for reading.  See you next week!
