A New Team, A New Start: NFL star, Julius Thomas, Shares What It’s Really Like

If you are a Denver Broncos fan, you are probably pretty upset with Julius Thomas heading to the Jacksonville Jaguars. But Thomas wants all of his fans to know, it is nothing personal.

My Dad Died 8 Years Ago, But He’s Still Teaching Me Life Lessons Today

Ever since I was little, I wanted to build a business/brand/invention/something…but I never knew what that “thing” was.

Growing up, I always wanted to start a club or group in my neighborhood, but that “club” always ended up being me... Read More »

One feature that I especially love, aside from the sleek design and pretty colored lights that it brings to the kitchen, is that my Keurig can give me hot water on demand to make my black or chai tea every morning.
