Hurricane Season Anxiety with Ochsner & a Worldly Author's Ambition

Hurricane Season has hit again, folks. Air as wet as a soggy blanket mixed with temperatures that'd make many melt before even stepping outside.  Adding to the uncomfortable mixture is the time of year that we all despise. Especially this season, with a whopping 25 Named storms- most in history! 
So as we take a breath and get ready,  pediatric psychologist from Ochsner Children's Hospital, Dr. Erin Reuther is here to help us navigate. 
Rolling off of May and Mental health awareness, we add to the mix with ways to identify anxiety and stress our kids. 
As parents, it is up to us to ask our children if they are ok. We do not assume they are. We know this by strategic ways of forming our sentences that allows them to tell me how they feel. For example, "You're OK, Right?"
Listen to the tips that Dr. Reuther talked to me about and apply them to your own family's scenarios!

Then Later, 
We welcome author, J Leonard Costner.  In 2012, he transitioned from athlete to author, channeling his diverse experiences and artistic sensibilities into creating “Legacy.” With a degree in art and storyteller’s spirit, Costner crafts narratives that are not just read but vividly experienced, using prose as his canvas to paint the intricate landscapes of his imagination. His international background and artistic expertise converge in his works, offering readers a literary voyage that is as visually captivating as it is emotionally resonant. In "Legacy", and in all of his works, Costner invites readers not just into a story, but into a world. A world that is at once enchanting and believable, vast in scope but intimate in emotion.

Today, J Leonard Costner continues to write, each new work a labor of love, a new landscape painted with words. He is not just an author, but an artist of narrative, a craftsman of worlds, and a guide for readers looking for an adventure that defies the ordinary.

Costner's unique way of storytelling like, 
His writing style being non-traditional. Using words to paint an image, which sticks to his strength as an artist rather than a writer.

The exploration of humanity, when life is just that and when it's the Antagonist. Perservearing and choosing to actively participate against all odds and not allowing yourself to be the victim.The ability to create a universally relatable story devoid of the need to use race and sexuality as a crutch. A celebration of all cultures. The exploration of histories nature of repetition. 

A unique writer with an ambitious plan to release even more works of art! 

His  books can be found here!
