This post from, Humans of New York, hit home with me today. Over the past 2 months I have seen the same woman on the corner right by my house asking for “anything.” She was burned by the Arizona sun, beaten down by whatever difficulties life had presented, but yet so sweet and thankful the few times I spoke with her. I rarely hand the homeless money, however I occasionally do, o... Read More »
Dear Citizens of the United States of America, In the wake of the rioting in Baltimore, I felt compelled to remind us that our nation was built on these words: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….” Those words d...

Definitely check it out. https://youtu.be/NF-kLy44Hls Then I typically scr... Read More »
You’ve seen them shuffling down the street. Fragile old men and women who need canes or walkers to help them move because they’re likely to tip over at any second. About 10 years ago I realized I was turning into one. In my generation kids were expected to spend a lot of time outside, so I was in the habit of being active. Unlike nowadays, youth sports were limited but our high school ... Read More »
I’ve been watching a lot of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh lately and there some pretty good “life lessons” within the story. You know, like when Piglet gives up his beloved family home to Owl because he doesn’t want to hurt Eeyore’s feelings. Or when Rabbit invites Pooh in for lunch, even though he knows Pooh will eat all his honey. And I realized that the mo... Read More »
You probably shouldn’t be reading this if you are against drinking or think that drinking a glass of wine around kids is bad parenting. By the way, if you do happen to feel this way, I highly disagree with you and think you probably need a glass of wine yourself. And, if you don’t even have kids but have an opinion about this, then you won’t even be heard, because you have NO id... Read More »
Your Critics Do Not Count, Their Words Will Fade…You Won’t These words came from the ever-so-talented, Justin Timberlake, last night as he accepted the “Innovator” Award at the I Heart Radio Music Awards. He has received multiple awards and nominations throughout his career, but it’s his good heart and personality that everyone really loves. In his acceptance s... Read More »
