What is a hero? To some, a hero is a person in a cape, someone who swoops down from burning buildings to save people in distress. To others, a hero comes in the form of teachers, parents, police officers, and friends. Celebrate the Hero is an initiative that began in order to celebrate the everyday heroes that are in all of our lives. This book is a collection of the submissions that people have contributed to Celebrate the Hero since its inception. I invite you to read stories of people standing up to bullying, stories of everyday heroism, and stories saluting everyday heroes. There are wonderful poems, and quotes. Some entries will make you laugh, others perhaps cry. But by the end, my hope is that you will feel good and that there some amazing people in this world who really care and are making a difference.

Act Like You Have Been There: Rules for My Brother began many years ago, as a set of rules for my little brother to follow, while I was living away from home. I jotted down on a piece of paper a few things that I felt he needed to understand. Little things he could refer to in case he needed guidance during a difficult time. It started as a few thoughts like: always have a firm handshake, enter a room with confidence, live with chivalry. It has since developed into a large collection of rules and words of advice.
