An Introduction To Best Friend Books
Lisa Combs & Pam Frazier

My best friend and I have started a new partnership called Best Friend Books. Lisa Combs, the author, is a teacher, instruction/behavior specialist, educational consultant, and president of Combs Educational Consulting, Ltd., based in Greenville, Ohio. I'm a graphic artist, illustrator, and owner of FraizerDesigns, LLC. Together we plan on creating books that empower children and adults. Our first self-published book is entitled "How To Tame Your Monkeys."

This book provides provides a framework for controlling thoughts that interfere with peace and happiness. After completing this first project, we decided that we would create a companion piece. The companion piece is entitled

"My Book of Monkeys." This is a coloring journal, that allows the reader to explore their own thoughts and feelings. We believe that these books are unique in that they are actually self-help books for kids(Although every adult that sees these books has said that they could absolutely use the guidance provided).

The easiest part for us is the actual creation of the books. Lisa's manuscripts almost instantly create pictures in my head and the words and images have come together seamlessly. However, the biggest challenge has been marketing our new creations. We have established a website, http://www.bestfriendbooks.com, and are constantly updating our social media accounts with updates.

We have several books in the works and are planning several books signings throughout Indiana and Ohio. Our first scheduled book signing/art exhibit is November 3 at Union City Arts Depot. We will be selling, and signing books as well as displaying and selling prints from the pages of our Monkey's books.

Our books are available on Amazon.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
