FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) — It’s been 78 years since Ann Hunt and Elizabeth Hamel were last together — in their mother’s womb.
The twin sisters were reunited last week for the first time since birth in Fullerton, California, thanks to a nudge from their children and help from a psychology professor, the Orange County Register reported Sunday.
I was inspired this weekend by the work of Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington, founders of Brooklyn Street Art. To simplify things a bit, Jaime wanders the streets of New York City with open eyes, actually paying attention to the wonders of the world around us. (More on their work at the end of this piece.)
That got me thinking: you don’t have to live in Brooklyn to be inspired by the world around you. You don’t have to be artistic or rich or lucky to make the world – your world – a better place.

A mere six-pack doesn’t cut it in Hollywood anymore. Today’s male stars need 5 percent body fat, massive pecs, and the much-coveted inguinal crease – regardless of what it takes to get there.
Brando never did crunches. Al Pacino didn’t slurp protein shakes. Cary Grant had never even heard of burpees, BOSU balls, or human growth hormone. But not one of today’s leading men can afford the luxury of a gym-free life.
The trick is to pick up the spin. Some pitchers vary their delivery slightly, unintentionally signaling a curve. The 5-ounce leather covered baseball is traveling at 90 mph, but with experience, you stay in the batter’s box, confident you can predict the trajectory, and either hit or dodge the pitch.
But no matter how good you think you are – you often fail. Sometimes you swing and miss; sometimes the ball hits you in the head. Either way, it hurts.
“Sometimes you have to do what’s best for you and your life,
not what’s best for everyone else.”
In other words, life is short and the clock is ticking. It’s kind of scary, but it’s true. If there was ever a perfect day to stand strong beside your values, your ambitions, and what’s best for you, that day is today.
I have learned that life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and that life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to push forward even when times are tough.
The first people to climb Mount McKinley did it to win a bet.
It all started when a group of guys were talking in a Fairbanks saloon one cold November in 1909. Dr. Frederick Cook had just published a book claiming he made it to the top of Mount McKinley. Those at the bar were all convinced the famous explorer was lying. Alaskans didn’t believe some fancy man from the city could have done it. The bar owner said he didn’t believe anyone could do it.
April Fools’ Day, sometimes called All Fools’ Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar.
