Dear Samsters,

Last day of school!  Have a great summer and don't forget to check in - I'll be posting throughout the break.  It has been a pleasure working for you all!

Drop me a line just to let me know what you are up to, how you are doing and how your evil plan for world domination is coming along.

Always do your best and never give up!

By the way, look up "Oxytocin" the cuddle hormone.  Ya gotta love Science!

Life is good...

• Upset comes from resisting what is ("It shouldn't be like this!").
•  No problem can be solved unless we focus on what we want.
