Greetings, my Royal Subjects! It is I, Princess Donnasaurus, wishing you a most resplendent summer! I have been making sure that my summer is resplendent by bestowing Royal Hugs upon all of my friends. That is a very good way to say “I love you!” Of course, I only give Royal Hugs to my friends if they want them. If someone says they do not want a hug right now (even one from a Regal Personage such as myself!), another majestic way to say “I love you” is to save your hug for another time. I would be delighted to offer you a Royal Hug, but unfortunately, we are too far apart. Instead, may I suggest that you have your grown-up help you write me to tell me—how were you kind today, and then I decree that Scotty shall send you a sticker!Have a stately summer, my friends, and I shall see you soon in The Imagine Neighborhood! PS: I love you!! Get more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/)Friend and follow us!TWITTER (https://twitter.com/HowWereYouKind), FACEBOOK (https://www.facebook.com/theimagineneighborhood/), INSTAGRAM (https://www.instagram.com/theimagineneighborhood/)

Greetings, friends! Macho Supreme here!  How is your summer going? Is it extremely macho? Macho hopes that it is. Macho is making his summer extremely macho by doing one of the most macho things Macho can think of—saying “I love you!” Macho has decided to say “I love you!” to all of Macho’s friends by helping them! So far this summer, Macho has helped the Fire Pirates, and Nana Supreme, and Princess Donnasaurus, and Macho has even helped Count Vacula by leaving goblin glitter on the floor for him to eat . . . although, now that Macho thinks about it, that may not have been the best idea Macho has ever had. What ideas do you have for saying “I love you” to your friends and family? You can have your grown-up help you write to Macho (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello%20Macho!%20Here%20are%20the%20ways%20I%20am%20saying%20%22I%20love%20you!%22) to tell him all about it, and then Macho can tell Scotty to send you some awesome stickers! That would definitely be extremely macho!Well, Macho has more friends to go say “I love you” to, and Macho also thinks he should probably check on his friend Count Vacula. Macho is concerned that Vacula has eaten a little too much goblin glitter and might hurt himself zooming around so fast. That would not be macho at all.PS: Oh! Did you think Macho had forgotten to say “I love you” to you? That would also not be macho at all!PPS: I LOVE YOU!!Get more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/)Friend and follow us!TWITTER (https://twitter.com/HowWereYouKind), FACEBOOK (https://www.facebook.com/theimagineneighborhood/), INSTAGRAM (https://www.instagram.com/theimagineneighborhood/)

Salutations! It is I, Alakazambra Tyesha Morganis, sending you greetings from Flutterbudge Lake Summer Camp where I am saying “I love you” by teaching Charms and Crafts to all the campers! This year, camp is extra special. Wanteth to know why? Because Count of Vacula is here as well! He has never been to camp before, so I thought sharing this experience with him wouldst be a terrific way to say, “I love you!”We are having a spellbinding summer, and Vac is even helping me write a love letter to my boyfriend, Bandersnatch Countyseat. That is, Vac might help me as soon as he calms down from all the goblin glitter he hath eaten off the floor . . . By the Eye of Greldar, that stuff really makes him excited!I shall see you all again in a few weeks back at The Imagine Neighborhood™, but in the meantime, I hope you are finding all kinds of magical methods for telling your family and friends “I love you!” Sendeth me a letter (mailto:[email protected]) to tell me about it, and of course, I wouldst be delighted to know—how wast thou kind today?PS: And remember—pixie wings do NOT go in thine mouth!Get more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/)Friend and follow us!TWITTER (https://twitter.com/HowWereYouKind), FACEBOOK (https://www.facebook.com/theimagineneighborhood/), INSTAGRAM (https://www.instagram.com/theimagineneighborhood/)

It’s Father’s Day, and Doc wants to let her dads know how much she loves them, so she plans a very special breakfast-in-bed—maybe one that’s a little too special! And when Doc’s turbocharged breakfast catapult makes a mess in the house, her Papa gets so upset that she thinks he might not love her anymore! Will one bite of Scotty’s Choc-o-Berry Marshmallow Bran Explosion send Doc hurrying home? Will Papa’s apology help Doc understand that it’s okay to make mistakes, because they help us learn how to do better next time? Will Doc’s new song “Ways to Say I Love You” be the world’s next huge hit?For all the answers, agarra a alguien que amas and get ready to hit the dance floor for some heart-pounding headbanging on today’s rockin’ episode of The Imagine Neighborhood!Get more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/)Friend and follow us!TWITTER (https://twitter.com/HowWereYouKind), FACEBOOK (https://www.facebook.com/theimagineneighborhood/), INSTAGRAM (https://www.instagram.com/theimagineneighborhood/)

But at the rink, there’s trouble. A bunch of troller skaters make fun of her hair and say they won’t let her skate until she takes her braids out! Will Vac give himself a tummyache eating candy off the floor of the Golden Rink Deluxe?... Will Miss Mamas teach Alakazambra to stand up against discrimination and let her inner light shine bright?... Will Scotty ever stop looking in the mirror at his fancy new fade?To find out, lash up those laces and get ready to rock the rink on today’s exciting episode of The Imagine Neighborhood!Ready?

Hey there, friends! It’s me, Count Vacula, with a fresh No Filter just for you!I’m really happy because this week you get to meet Lauren Ashley Smith (https://www.laurenashleysmith.com). She’s a television writer and producer, and in fact, Lauren was the first-ever female African American head writer of a sketch comedy TV show! She’s smart and funny, and best of all, she’s very kind.When you’re trying to make a new friend, it’s helpful to ask them questions about themselves and then really listen to what they tell you. I asked Lauren a lot of questions, and she answered them all! She told me about her dogs, Jelly and Rowdy, and about her sisters, and about her new robot vampire vacuum cleaner (hi, Florida!), and about how writers can make the actors on their shows say all kinds of silly stuff! One thing we have in common is that we both host audio shows—even though mine is a podcast and hers is on the radio. We also both love to tell funny stories and joke around. Lauren told me a hilarious knock-knock joke, and a really great made-up story about how our shoes decide how tall we are, and then we made ourselves LOL all over the place pretending that we didn’t know each other. It was really fun!You know, I used to be really nervous about meeting new people, but now every time I practice making friends I end up having a great time! I think you’ll have a great time getting to know Lauren, too!Have you made any new friends lately? Or is there someone you want to make friends with, but you’ve been feeling shy? Tell me about it (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hi,%20Count%20Vacula!) and maybe we can come up with some things you can do to get to know them better. In the meantime, I’m really glad that you’re my friend, and I’m really glad that we got to spend some time together today!Talk to you again soon!Your pal, VacGet more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/)Friend and follow us!TWITTER (https://twitter.com/HowWereYouKind), FACEBOOK (https://www.facebook.com/theimagineneighborhood/), INSTAGRAM (https://www.instagram.com/theimagineneighborhood/)
