Today is the 49th Annual Earth Day, a global event to celebrate Mother Nature and put a spotlight on environmental issues. The theme for 2019 Earth Day is “Protect our Species.” It aims to draw attention to the rapid extinction of species across the world, which is directly linked to human activity which causes climate change, deforestation and pollution. About a billion people worldwide mark Earth Day each year by signing petitions, planting trees or cleaning up their neighborhoods.

Laughter truly is the best medicine – it’s known to boost your spirits and relieve stress. April is National Humor Month, a time to celebrate the wonders of laughter and joy. Larry Wilde, comedian, author and Director of the Carmel Institute of Humor, founded National Humor Month in 1976 to share the therapeutic benefits of humor with the world.
