Is Spanking Harmful?

A recent study in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics found a high percentage of American parents spank or slap their children. And it suggests spanking could lead to mental health issues down the road. FOX 4 covered the story and asked me to comment on it in this TV segment.

Freedom Is Not Free

My Director of Client Relations, Zan Jones, just returned from a family vacation to Washington, DC. With July 4th approaching she said the history lessons were timely. She said the Korean Memorial was particularly moving because it seemed dark around it even though it was bathed in full afternoon sunshine (and 100 degree heat).  

Here's a photo of Zan's girls at the memorial:

The Korean War Veterans Memorial includes
the words "Freedom Is Not Free" 
Stay in the Smart Zone this Independence Day by honoring soldiers, past and present, and the friends and families who support them. While freedom is not free, we are all free to show gratitude, respect and appreciation for those who fought for our country.

Here's to the freedom we have in many ways: the freedom to choose, the freedom to live and the freedom to be happy in the Smart Zone.

Happy July 4th!
