There are lots of ways to attend to your own mental health needs and for many, meditation and yoga or other mindfulness practices may be beneficial. Check out some of the free (or temporarily free) apps that you can use to practice these skills. Note: Some of these apps offer
Harper Lee's highly anticipated second novel, Go Set a Watchman, will be released Tues. July 14. It has been suggested that Go Set a Watchman was written before Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. Details have emerged that Lee's publisher, asked her to rewrite “Watchman” to focus on the perspective of Scout as a child.

It's hot, y'all. It's hot and humid and sticky and gross. This is that part of a North Carolina summer my relatives in Pennsylvania tell me is inhumane. (The joke is on them when they get snow in November though.) Sometimes, when the sun seems angry at you personally and the world feels like it's falling apart (see: pandemic, police brutality, climate change, the 24-hour news cycle), there's nothing better than some ice cream to cool off and coat your insides with delicious sugar (or dairy-free
