Simply Good: Supporting Academic Recovery

I’ve heard it said that, despite substantial distance learning efforts, students of all ages in all locations have essentially lost an entire year of their education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While businesses and other facets of our daily lives start to return to some degree of normalcy, students are still floundering in the academic […]

Simply Good: Independence for All

“Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.” By the time founding father Thomas Paine published “Common Sense” in 1776, he was already considered by many to be a radical zealot. Paine’s relentless gospel of freedom was so [...]

Simply Good: Honoring Asian Pacific And Jewish Americans

Did you know there are more than 300,000 Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander U.S. veterans living today? Neither did I!

Simply Good: Closing the Gender Pay Gap

Equal Pay Day caught us by surprise this year!

Phew! A lot has happened since our last Simply Good, which came out the day before the insurrection in the US Capitol. Since then we’ve seen our new administration take action after action to make progress for our country. A lot happened in January (does anyone else feel like it lasted for six months?). Now we’re […]

Simply Good: Change The World

Happy New Year! So far 2021 feels a lot like 2020, Volume 2. In prior years, we spent our Januaries starting new wellness routines and committing to writing that great American novel. This year, we’re just hoping to send our kids back to school or dine out without a mask. Yes, because of our current circumstances, our goals […]

Simply Good: Year In Review

What. A. Year. Of course, I don’t have to tell you that. We’ve all walked through a global pandemic, social unrest, economic crisis, and a highly-charged and divisive presidential election. When 2020 makes it into our history books, it will no doubt be a lengthy chapter. However, we get to choose what posture we’ll take […]

Simply Good: Native American Heritage Month

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Native American Heritage Month, an observance established in 1990 to honor the history, traditions, and contributions of the Native American people. As the original inhabitants of our country, it’s impossible to consider our own histories independent of the influence of the American Indian culture. This month’s collection of […]
