  In the chapter “Calls,” Amy and Jo decide to make some social calls, a common custom among well-bred young ladies of their time. Amy, who enjoys proper manners and society, convinces Jo to accompany her, even though Jo finds such formalities dull and pretentious. Throughout the afternoon, Amy’s social grace and tact contrast sharply with Jo’s blunt honesty and impatience with convention. Amy enjoys the ritual of polite society, while Jo realizes that she prefers sincerity and simplicity to artificial manners. Join Emily and Niina when they dissect chapter Calls, and talk about various things, such as Amy's fondness towards the aristocracy, Jo's difficulties in taking compliments and also the last part of the chapter, where we get the explanation why Jo did not get to go to Europe with Aunt March.

  Francis Grierson's, The Valley of Shadows, is truly a lost American classic. Written at the dawn of the twentieth century, the author has remarkably captured his adventures and observations as a child growing up on the prairies of Illinois in the years leading up the Civil War, in a region that was neither North nor South; neither for slavery nor against it; and how their small family farm became an unscheduled stop on the Underground Railroad.Written in an authentic vernacular of the time, and populated by larger than life characters, Grierson has woven a tale of excitement and mystery, set in a second Garden of Eden of wildlife and nature. The prose and dialogue is like Shakespeare of the prairie. It reads like a cross between Tom Sawyer and Uncle Tom's Cabin, and stands out among all of the other books written about that era.What people are saying:“It has a quality not to be found in any other writing about the Civil War;""Its prose is alive, strong, subtle, of warm color, almost overpowering;""No one can read it, without finding new enlightenment about our past.”

  There is a generosity crisis in North America. The number of individuals giving to charity is on the decline. For nonprofits that rely on the generosity of everyday individuals, this is an alarming statistic. But amidst these challenges, a new opportunity has arisen: the subscription economy has transformed donor behavior and preferences, making recurring giving more accessible than at any other time in history.Dave Raley, with over twenty years of experience in the nonprofit sector, has studied top-performing nonprofits that are successfully tapping into this new kind of giving. As individuals and organizations have embraced subscriptions, consumer trends have changed, and donors are more likely to give on a recurring basis to nonprofits of all types and sizes. This has paved the way for subscription giving, and ultimately, more reliable revenue that can accelerate generosity.In The Rise of Sustainable Giving, Raley shares the core elements of building a thriving sustainable giving program, including:Six key shifts driven by the subscription economyUnderstanding donor motivationCrafting an ongoing value propositionGetting your technology stack rightDesigning and launching your programGrowing your programSustainable giving is more than just inspirational jargon or a lofty idea; it’s a tactical playbook for a new era of fundraising.

  The traditional view of leadership has often focused on authority and power, but in the modern world, leadership is about influence, empathy, and vision. It’s about guiding others through uncertainty and inspiring change through action. The leaders we need are those who can adapt to new circumstances, challenge the status quo, and unite others in pursuit of a common goal. To nurture these qualities in young people, we must first understand what leadership truly entails in today’s world. 
  Parents and mentors are the primary sources of influence for the next generation. They hold the responsibility of laying the foundation for young minds to grow into strong, confident, and ethical leaders. While natural talent and charisma certainly play a role in leadership, the development of leadership qualities is largely a result of intentional guidance and opportunities for growth. From a young age, children must be exposed to values such as integrity, responsibility, and empathy, which are at the heart of effective leadership. 
  Leadership is not something that can be taught in a classroom alone; it is cultivated through experiences, challenges, and real-world application. Encouraging children to take initiative, make decisions, and face obstacles head-on provides them with the tools they need to become self-assured leaders. It’s also essential that they learn how to inspire and uplift those around them, as true leadership is about empowering others to succeed.
