Kindness takes the Higher Ground
Yesterday, after I finished my blog and posted it about how our words matter, I read this email from a ministry. It is the icing on “yesterday’s” cake (aka blog). “I call you, My people, to be kind to one another. The world is filled with selfishness and hatred. But you belong to Me and…
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
It’s a big deal to have a day named after someone. With a quick google “What does it take to have a Federal Holiday named after you?”, I found that it wasn’t such an easy task. Apparently, the notion of creating a Martin Luther King Day met with much controversy. Two of the main arguments…
Happy Martin Luther King Day!
I can’t help but think about the price this man paid to have a day named after him. With a quick google: “What does it take to have a Federal Holiday named after you?”, I found that it wasn’t an easy task. Creating a Martin Luther King Day met with much controversy. Two of the…
Who is YOUR Someone?
President Ronald Reagan coined the phrase: “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.” That quote speaks volumes to me when I think about the “someones” who might have passed my way without me giving them a second thought.

It’s remembering that we live in this marvelous country with so many freedoms that were paid for by those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us.” And, that’s…
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day! I live in a 55+ community of 2,000+ homes, and this Memorial Day, I am recognizing incredible patriotism as American flags are lining the main roadways and nearly every home has a flag in their yard or on their home. I’m quite sure many of those who live in this community are…
Happy Birthday, America!
Day 181 of Photo Inspirations — Happy Birthday, America! Today is the day we celebrate “life – liberty – the pursuit of happiness” and in so doing, we get to FREELY gather together with friends for a barbeque, shoot off some fireworks and even, if you’re close to a Fireworks Show, you’ll probably even catch…
It Made a Difference to That One!
Oftentimes, we tend to focus on what’s wrong with others or what’s wrong in our nation or what’s wrong in our places of business. Isn’t it time we do a self analysis about how we can be the influencer for CHANGE that impacts our world? Sure there are the obvious world changers like Jesus Christ,…
