Hello and welcome to a particularly robust Tweet Beat! You may have noticed that we were MIA last week — why, you may ask? Well, we were volunteering at P.S. 328 in Brooklyn with City Arts NYC. Our whole company, Davler Media Group, took the day off from our desks and hopped on the L to contribute our time and artistic abilities (or, ahem, lack thereof) to a beautiful mural at the school. We missed you, but we had a fantastic day. To make up for our absence, I’ve put together a large post for today, and I’ve even included a cute painting photo of some of our staff members as a treat at the end. I know some of you are tired out from #BlogHer12, which others may be still reeling with excitement from @MarsCuriositylast night/this morning, so let’s dive in to this diverse post before we all fall asleep. I’ve got some tweets that will wake you right up!

Where did the summer go?! There is so much that I still want to do. How do I even begin to fill in that empty space? I want to write millions of words. Yikes! What would you write?

If you’re struggling to talk with your kids about the recent national tragedies, hopefully our guide will help. Dawn sure is right: the world is not always what we wish.
