“A bee in a matchbox tells the story of an unlikely friendship unfolding right before your eyes,” said Zordich. “It is playful and courageous and displays vulnerability, compassion, loyalty, and vigilance with a message that I am all too happy to share. When I visit schools and read to the children my favorite part is the conversation A Bee in a Matchbox provokes. Discussions about fear and feelings, friendship and acceptance, kindness and compassion. And there are many shares about stinging bees and barking dogs! I also love to hand out little bees to the kids and they immediately begin to nurture them - allowing their compassion to override their original fear. I love this little nudge. Each day welcomes the opportunity to engage. Every day we teach and we learn—and often our lessons come from the innocence of children.”

I remember the day. We were at Father Madden’s Mass in Mill Creek Park. Reneé quietly shared that she was reading a book - The Secret. And then she gave me the best compliment. She said she would give it to me to read - but I was already living it. Wow! How would I have known that decades later, after being gifted with an accidental message of love, kindness and friendship - The Secret and its publisher, Beyond Words would become the power source to share this message?
When A Bee in A Matchbox manifested itself on to my notebook - I knew it had wings of change. Thank you Beyond Words Publishing and Richard Cohn. My gratitude is beyond words. Pleased to share a conversation with Richard that felt like sitting on the back porch in the summer with a good friend. Beyond Word Publishing Radio/A Bee in a Matchbox.
