Keep Hope Alive Happy Friday

We made it to another Friday. Every day I get up and I open my eyes. I thank the Lord for another day. My goal is to never take life for granted. No matter what challenges I faced during the week.

Who Cares About Our Seniors

I am so frustrated with how we ignore the truth. Government policy proves that few people care. In 2023, when I was laid off. I got eaten up by the IRS. My small business enterprises helped me tremendously. Yet I still ended up needing to set up a payment plan. Now, after the new administration came... Sign in to see full entry.

Have You Visited the Bank Lately

One of the many reasons I became a fan of technology is that it helps me to pay my bills more conveniently. When I was first married, we moved to Detroit, Michigan, around 1983. This was before the time that home computers became famous. If you didn't pay by check or money order. You had to go to... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Let Fear Hold You Back

I have been fortunate to have accomplished many things. One would think that I would be satisfied with all my good fortune, and I am. Yet what keeps me motivated is my unquenched need to share my experience. I'm starting a YouTube channel where I teach Seniors and those who are technically... Sign in to see full entry.

The Summer Solstice and Stonehenge

Friday marked the Summer Solstice for 2025. Which means the longest stretch of sunshine and the shortest night of the year. It is when the Sun is closest to the Earth for everyone who lives above the equator. Now, what surprised me is that there is a direct correlation between this event and... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH

I know most writers believe in the value of history. One of the reasons I love writing is the search and the representation of the truth. To also dig deeper and represent the different viewpoints. I was amazed when Juneteenth became a national holiday. Teaching History in school has been challenged... Sign in to see full entry.

A Toothless Grin

One of my top left teeth has been bothering me for more than a year. Today I had it removed. About two years ago, I had my first regular tooth extraction. Before that, only my wisdom teeth had been extracted. It is getting scary now. It appears that I will need to get a bridge to fill the gap in my... Sign in to see full entry.

Music Mission Accomplished

Once upon a time, my church had a nice-sized men's chorus. Time eventually took its toll on our membership. Some members moved. Other members lost interest. And some members have passed away. On Father's Day Sunday, our director made a plan to stimulate interest. He decided to create a quintet for... Sign in to see full entry.

A Fathers Role in Teaching us Right from Wrong

I am thankful for this Father's Day. My father passed away in 2015. Yet he still lives loudly in my heart and mind. As I have aged. I realize how important he was to my values. He was an excellent father. When I was younger, I thought he was the meanest man in the world. Dad was very old school.... Sign in to see full entry.

Three hundred fifty relatives and friends attended her reception. It was indeed a blessing and a testament to how family and friends can enjoy one another... Sign in to see full entry.
