It’s Time To Change Children’s Literature
Growing up, my nose was always buried in a book. Reading was my escape, my bridge to other worlds. Unlike today’s generation of iPad kids and endless scrolling on social media, books were my go-to distraction. They offered a sense of adventure and wonder that, in my opinion, no screen could match.

In today’s episode of The 1% Flow, we dived into a topic that resonates with everyone: commitment versus consistency. These two concepts are often talked about together, but they’re not the same thing. Commitment is the decision you make when you say, “I’m going to do this.” But consistency?

Liam Payne’s Passing: A Heartbreaking Loss for Fans and Loved Ones

So when I heard the news of his passing, it felt like a punch to the gut.

The movie, with its humor and catchy music, is a childhood favorite for many, but we’re peeling back the layers to explore some of its deeper messages.

Dreaming of Musiclandria
I’ve got a bone to pick with you, Sacramento.
We have such a vibrant arts and music scene here in this city. Everywhere you go, there is evidence of it. There is an abundance of creativity here, and I have to say, the music scene, in particular, is literally bursting at the seams. Several internationally acclaimed musicians and bands were either born or formed here. Our cup runneth over in that aspect, is all I’m saying.
