But Words Can Never Hurt Me. A nursery rhyme from the 1800’s that most of us have heard and possibly even spoken out loud. I was thinking about this because with all the vitriolic in the news this month I recalled this rhyme and thought how it really isn’t true. Words can hurt! Our assessment...

Sam Dryburgh, my father, gave me two little life lessons when he wrote in my journal when I was 5 years old: Look before you leap! The early bird gets the worm! I have heard that your answer to the question, “Is the universe a friendly place?” positions you as an optimist or a pessimist and...
