Another memorable moment occurred when another inmate, a man in his early 30s, walked up to me near the end of the event and said, “You made my mom smile today. She’s had some hard days and arrived with a heaviness and worry about certain things. You joked with her and teased her, and she eventually smiled. I needed to see her smile. Thank you.” 03/27/2024 09:00 AM

I have a question to pose to all of you this week. Do you ever get tired? Now, I’m not talking about the kind of tired that comes from a hard day at work or a tough day in the classroom. I am talking about the kind of tired that leaves you in a catatonic state without the ability to function normally. The kind of tired that permeates your entire body and brain and leaves you feeling empty and without the desire to want to get up and do anything at all. 03/20/2024 09:00 AM
