Why subscribe to ‘Heart, Humor & Hope?’

To laugh. To find hope in a world where it’s waning. To find wonder in the blend of a coffee shop crowd. And to see life through the eyes of a guy who, as a newspaper columnist, spent four decades observing the human condition. Welch is the author of more than two dozen books and a two-time winner of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists’ “Best Writing” award, one for general columns, one for humor.
