Nelson Mandela was one of my personal heroes. His relentless commitment to advancing equality and justice was deeply inspiring—and so was the warmth and compassion he brought to his work. On #Mandela100, we celebrate the legacy of a remarkable leader. #MandelaDay

Thank you, #freeCodeCamp! I'm on board with Quincy Larson's vision of free self-paced online education for all. Idealistic? Yes. But we could use a lot more of that in the world. @ossia

Very comprehensive post on #grief, including who is most at risk for complicated grief (the answer isn’t obvious). #hospice #funeraldirector xitter.cf/loveliveson_com/status…
We get asked this question A LOT and we totally get it. Unfortunately, grief doesn't stick to a schedule or time frame & the answer to "how long does grief last?" is a little more complicated...:goo.gl/ZtQM2X #howlongdoesgrieflast #stagesofgrief

Katie Boyle was the face of Eurovision in its early years. Such an elegant, articulate lady and a long life 91 years long. Rest in Peace Katie Boyle ~ Obituary: Katie Boyle bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…
