Pool, beach, lake, or river ...Boating, racing, diving, or surfing ... Water time is the best! But before you make a splash, there''s one very important thing you need to learn how to do: swim! Whether riding the waves or cruising the lake, it''s important to stay safe-and being a strong swimmer could save your life.

"No 'buts.' It is just where the wind blows you. None of us is exempt from the highs or the lows. The key is to ride the flow."As the tides begin to settle after her ex-husband's unexpected passing, Helen Ferry feels ready to dive into her new life. Her relationship with her daughter, Grace, has continued to blossom, and she is settling into her role as grandmother to baby Frankie. However, when someone new-charming Welshman Gerard Ferguson-becomes more central in her life, she begins, once again, to question her decisions. Her insecurities are assuaged by her dear friend Sylvia, whose wisdom helps steer Helen through her voyage of rediscovery. But even when the skies ahead look clear, Helen's thoughts continue to circle: How deep do her feelings for Gerard run? Is she worthy of his love? And is she ready to set sail on this new adventure?
"e;I stand at the foot of the porch steps and stare mindlessly out across the lake I've looked over my entire life, trying to find comfort in the view and the memories of all that has happened. It's hard to conjure up an optimistic view of the future. Only a few days have passed since first Top, then Amelie, and then DeeDee have been removed from my life (and theirs). I haven't spent the time doing much other than moping around the family property that now feels even bigger than when I was a child."e;How did it all go so wrong? We were a team. A group of survivors ready to take down anything that came our way. But in less than a day, they were all gone. Now it's just me and the dog. I'm left wondering about my future. What do I do now? Should I stay in case Eve comes looking for me? Should I leave and go look for her? Does it matter? I worry about Eve. She stayed behind to take care of her dying father, but there's no way he is going to last long, and a nasty winter is coming. Without heat and company, will she make it? She's probably cold and alone in a house with a dead body.My big sister, Morgan, is one of the precious few people left who made it through the zombie apocalypse and is heading my way. She's far out west, but once she puts her mind to something, almost nothing can stop her. Not zombies, not a group of humans sheltering themselves and their secrets behind the walls of a madcap fortress, and not even a pirate.Survivors and zombies alike are gathering. And no one will be able to predict what's coming.Time for round three.
I believe in dignity in all things, and it goes both ways, and while that attitude is modeled, the why-what-how has first to be shown, taught, and reinforced. And if you want people to excel at the job you hired them for, you must lead-but not by example.As someone who has held senior leadership positions in the past, Thom Hayes has seen the impact leaders have on their teams and employees. When a manager expects their team simply to know what to do and does nothing to assist them, or if the manager tries to micromanage because they don't believe in their own team, the result will ultimately be failure. A good leader is one who has the ability and patience to teach their team and inspire them to succeed.
