This Family Slays With Group Costumes Every Halloween. We Want To See Yours!
It’s one thing to get your own Halloween costume on point ― it’s quite another to coordinate your entire family’s costumes around a common theme, and slay every year. We found a family who does just that, and they are Hallo-winning. Beginning when their two oldest kids were preschool-aged, the Narcisos have pulled out all the stops to kill it every Halloween, even as their brood expanded to six (they are parents to Bella, 10; Mia, 8; Chance, 6; and Indy, 3).

Want To Practice Mindfulness? Start At Work
On any given workday, most people appreciate a little break time. But not everyone knows how valuable truly taking a moment can be ― because how you use a break is just as important as the break itself. It’s all too common: you finally get a much-needed break, and end up spending it playing a game on your phone, browsing the web, or using other methods of distraction to take you away from the here and now.

5 Ways To Stop Stressing In The Moment
Stress is one of those things that most of us accept as a normal part of living. Yet how good are we at coping with it? While our bodies deploy an arsenal of biological responses to help us in stressful situations, these responses are meant for acute stress (say, encountering a tiger in the wild), rather than the much more common chronic ― or at least long-term ― stress that we experience all too often.

How Felicity Huffman Helps Mothers Find Their Voices
“I grew up with all my sisters hanging out together in one tiny little bathroom,” Huffman says. “We would all hang out and talk, and sit on the counter, and blow smoke out the window so my mom would never know. And it became this wonderful female community that was about laughing, sharing, learning, confessing and telling our stories.

Mikel Welch’s Blueprints for Better Office Design
When Mikel Welch graduated from Morehouse College, he had no idea what he wanted to do. His mother’s advice was to find his passion in life by discovering what he’d be willing to do for free. “At that time, that didn’t make sense to me,” Welch says. “I was broke and just out of college, there was nothing I’d do for free.”.

In Memory of the “Queen of Soul Food”
I attended Sylvia Woods' funeral in Mount Vernon, N.Y. in July 2012 and took all photos seen from that day. I used Final Cut Pro X to combine my own images with archival photos and the Rev. Al Sharpton’s eulogy, which is a selection from 38 minutes of audio. Photos were taken on a Canon PowerShot G9. Woods was born on Feb. 2, 1926 and died on July 19, 2012.

One of my favorite things about journalism is its ability to educate the writer. I have written about topics including healthcare, technology, the environment, race relations, community issues, politics and more and every time I leave with a little pocket, or sometimes a large swath of knowledge I didn't have before. My goal in my writing is to impart that knowledge to readers in an engaging way.

I believe everyone has a story to tell. When that story is told in an interesting and thoughtful way, people will want to read it. It's as simple as that.
