“The power of perspective is short-term unless you find a way to make it last.” H&R Block’s Women’s Network hosted a lunchtime viewing and discussion of Kansas City-based executive Lindsey Roy's TED Talk “What trauma taught me about happiness.” Through a challenging recovery process after a devastating accident, Lindsey learned impactful lessons on how to influence perspective. In her TED Talk, she shares her creative methods for overcoming the brain's natural negativity bias, letting go of past expectations, and connecting to a deeper self in the here and now.

Big thank you to the more than 10,000 associates who participated in a fundraising effort called Jeans for Jude, benefiting St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

To help assist the city of New Orleans with the cleanup of Mardi Gras celebrations, we have opened our doors for anyone wanting to recycle the famous Mardi Gras beads. Over the years, beads have become the most coveted item during this holiday. Now through the end of today, visit us in New Orleans as we host a drive to help collect and recycle these beads. In the past, New Orleans has struggled to keep the excess beads out of storm drains, which has caused flooding problems.
