Welcome to December, and another Peculiar Treasure! Try starting your week off with a boy who escaped State-applied limitations to become a genius, and the way music can bring our mind-locked elders back to us, singing and dancing as they come.

How do you talk to kids? Here’s an interview with the world specialist on micro-expressions and his daughter on building truth and trust, and here’s three questions you could ask any teen you know to start a conversation on creating a life of happiness and direction.

First Draft Poetry is open to everyone today! Please, share your first draft to any piece you are inspired by. Happy reading, creating, writing and Decembering!
