Happy New Year!

Ben Whishaw is back with lots of awesome projects. You know how hard it is to keep going without taking a break. Fresh air and looking at blue skies while climbing a mountain (in Peru) can make a world of difference. New experiences can provide a new, fresh perspective for all of us. So, don’t forget, check out (Ben’s Notebook) to see what is going on.

One more thing, British children’s author Michael Bond, known for his books starring Paddington bear, died at his home in London on June 27 following a brief illness. He was 91.

We would like to offer Michael’s family and friends our deepest and most sincere condolences.

Love Shelley
