There is a wealth of daily holidays and special days. Some are steeped in tradition, while others may be wacky, bizarre, unique, special, or otherwise simply different holidays. Looking for a wacky day to celebrate, perhaps? Pollution. Crime. Natural disasters. War. Addiction. Terrorism. Political unrest. Despite the dire headlines we read every day, there are COUNTLESS reasons to celebrate life and everything that fills it. This book offers a listing of special days and festivities for every day of the calendar year - avoiding the well-known and beloved, like Christmas and the Fourth of July, and instead of featuring the offbeat, whimsical and downright silly, such as No Socks Day, Grammar Day and the Festival of Sleep. Many of these celebrations can easily be used by businesses as marketing tools, by teachers as outlets for creativity and addenda to curriculum, by office managers as a team and morale-building exercises - or by anyone just looking for an excuse to have some fun! A hashtag # for each holiday is included so that you can tag your social media posts and pictures to be found alongside others celebrating the day.

Is it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment? Beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf offer readers the bold invitation to trust a known God with an unknown future, as well as practical insights into surviving anything by redefining how we think about everything. After miraculously surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26, as told in their memoir, Hope Heals, life for Katherine and Jay Wolf changed forever - and so did the way they viewed God, the world, and themselves in it. There was no going back to normal after such a tragedy. Yet Katherine and Jay learned that suffering is not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story. In Suffer Strong, they invite us into this new story as they share universal lessons and helpful practices that will help us to: Recognize we are being equipped for an uncommon assignment, not cursed by our story. Transform our unmet expectations into brave anticipations. Disrupt the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life. Rewrite the narrative of hard circumstances by turning our definitions of suffering into declarations of strength. And, ultimately, thrive even in the lives we never imagined living.
