Spending a day with HLN’s Isha Sesay is a great way to show you how NOT to avoid stress! In addition to her new gig at HLN, Isha provides the news updates for Anderson Cooper 360, anchors two other shows, and files reports for many programs across our multiple networks -- we're not sure how she finds time to breathe!

Old books, just lying around the house, could help change a kid’s life in a way you’d never imagine. Kristina Cruise is the founder of "Promising Pages," an organization that collects used books, turns them into presents and gives them to children who don’t have books of their own.

Patricia Kirven has three kids -- two that have significant health care needs. Her 6-year-old son has autism and her 18-year-old daughter is a quadruple amputee.

The 25-year-old may be back in the states, recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, but his everyday life is still a battle. And at his side, through all of it, are his wife and their daughter, Chloe.

It’s common for military men and women to leave behind what they call a “just in case” letter when they deploy. It’s a message that military families hope they never have to read because it means their loved one isn’t coming home.

NFL payer and army ranger Pat Tillman left one of these notes for his wife, Marie. And when he was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004, Marie forced herself to read the last message she would ever get from her husband.
