Words are power. That’s why so many people throughout history have burned and banned books. It’s still going on. In April a man walked into the Cuyahoga County Public Library’s Beachwood branch at 25501 Shaker Blvd. and applied for a library card. He checked out 50 books on topics including Jewish history, African American history and LGBTQ issues. He came back a few days later and borrowed 50 more books. He told a librarian his son was in the LGBTQ community.

It’s that time. Every year my friend Mike McIntyre at Ideastream in Cleveland solicits graduation advice on Facebook. He crowdsources a commencement speech out of the wisdom others share. He asks for one original line of advice. Is there such a thing? Here are a few gems people offered him: You can’t win until you’re not afraid to lose. Always carry a $20. Take the trip. Smile more. Vote. Get a cat. Spend as much time as you can with dogs.

Eileen Saffran, founder and former CEO, dared something mighty when she created The Gathering Place almost 25 years ago.

Growing old ain’t for sissies. But that doesn’t mean you turn into a wimp as you age. Quite the opposite. My plan is to grow older and bolder. Ask my three grandkids. I’m rocking it. All three just took up lacrosse, so I’ve been running around their front yard trying to learn how to wield that stick. I don’t mind calling myself old. I’m taking the sting out of it. I let my hair go natural. I love it. Is it gray? Silver? I’m calling it chrome, like the sparkle on a shiny new car.
