An Odor of Mendacity
Today we conclude our countdown of the top 10 posts published in 2024 with #1.

Always Be Kind
The 2024 countdown of the top 10 posts published in 2024 is down to #2.
This May post was based on a story told by Sherry Vonderhaar-Adair posted on her facebook page. We used it to share some thoughts on kindness on our weekly column Facebook Friday.
If you missed this touching story with its lesson about kindness and the applications we made., you will definitely find it worth your time. In fact, even if you read it back it May, it’s probably a good time of year to consider its life lesson again
