The more you practice hoping, the easier it becomes.

Focus on good things to come—and make a plan to make them happen. Start by repeating this phrase out loud. Then, go into the world and show everyone how strong you really are!

And, remember, there are lots of ways to be strong. Some ways you can see from far away, like having big muscles. But all the other ways you can’t see at all, because they’re inside of you. Your kindness, bravery, generosity—they all make you strong too!

Find this and 23 more scientifically proven hopeful things in Kazoo no 36, The Strong Issue, now available as a single copy in our shop.

Baker dropped by to share her recipe for this extra-fancy apple tart (that’s surprisingly simple to make and perfect to bake w kids).

We asked Yossy if anyone has ever told her that she was too “extra” in any way and she said:

>>>”Yes! Too shy! Too quiet! Throughout my whole life I’ve been reminded of that by my family, friends, and teachers. Loud people often get more attention, but what I’ve learned is that quiet ones deserve it, too. You can be shy and razzle-dazzle, too.”

Jane Goodall, who was kind enough to agree to an interview w Kazoo at our very beginning, gave our readers this advice:

“Dear Noisemakers, Every one of us makes a difference every day. So if you have a dream, and you work hard, you can achieve it. You have a choice to use your life to make the world a better place—or not to bother. It’s up to you to decide what kind of difference you’re going to make.” —Jane Goodall

That interview w Jan Goodall ran in our 2nd issue, 9 yrs ago!, and we’ve been working hard to make a difference w every new issue of Kazoo. Thank you, Jane, for the difference you made, and rest in peace.

Legendary costume designer & two-time Oscar winner Ruth E. Carter dropped by to give us some advice on helping to make the world a brighter place:

“Wear your wonder like a crown,
In braided hair or a satin gown.
Your costume tells the tale you write,
In every shade, in every light.
Twirl in boots or glitter shoes,
You’re the designer—you get to choose.
With every step, your truth takes flight—
Go Be Bright!
The world needs your voice, your spark, your light.”
—Ruth E. Carter

(Art & lettering by )

Every issue of Kazoo magazine contains an interactive maze featuring an extraordinary woman. Readers get to learn about her life and work as they follow along the path to solve the maze. We are so grateful for Ruth E. Carter’s participation and love her words of advice in latest issue, no 38, the Razzle-Dazzle Issue.

ATTENTION! You might find that some people will try to give you lots of rules to live by: DON’T BE TOO LOUD, TOO BOLD, TOO SILLY, TOO EMOTIONAL, TOO SMART, TOO ANYTHING! They’re not telling you how to be, because it’s good for you. They’re telling you how to be, because it’s good for them.
