Good morning! Here's today's news. When I was younger, watching the Olympics was always a family event. I loved the look of wonder on my kids’ faces as they watched the athletes performing almost superhuman feats of strength and speed. Well, this year, there is another reason for kids to tune in to the games – karate, skateboarding, climbing and surfing have been added to the lineup! 

Join us as we discuss the Olympics, the latest on the knife attack in the UK, an article about the power of “yes” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susie-moore/9-ways-saying-yes-will-change-your-life_b_10243504.html) and a feel good story about Leonard the Garden Gnome. 

Come join us for a cup of tea and a chat! And, please do me a quick favor and tell one other woman about Mornings with Sixty and Me today.
