FIRST THINGS FIRST…
It seems like every week there’s another awful thing happening in the world. Last night, a flat-bed truck plowed into a Bastille Day celebration in Nice killing 84 people. I don’t have the words to express how incredibly sad, heartbreaking, and shocking yet another terrorist attack is. While evidence proves that the world is becoming less violent, it doesn’t always feel that way.
REMINISCE

DISCOVER

KNOW
I’m totally into Pokémon Go, especially because the location-based, augmented reality game is being considered a fitness fad, urging people to get outdoors and walk to catch ’em all. Personally, I enjoy taking a couple of 10-minute walks to break up the work day. Did you know the game was actually conceived two years ago as an April Fool’s joke?
