    With a little help from a group of patrons in Los Alamos, an internationally known Korean artist was able to make an encore recently in northern New Mexico.

  • Feel good about yourself

    This week we look at Asset #38, Self-Esteem. According to the Search Institute, “Youth are more likely to grow up healthy when they have high self-esteem.” Nationally, only 52 percent of youth feel like they have this Asset in their lives.

    The funny thing is when we mention the words self-esteem, there’s almost an audible groan. There’s nothing wrong with having self-esteem, but when you don’t have it, a lot seems to go wrong.

  • PEN&INKee^POSSIBILITIES: Sharing stories and memories that make up a life

    Of all the arts, I think storytelling is the most powerful; it can transport you to far away destinations and introduce characters that feature a wide range of personalities.
