Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do.

The Perils of Education Today

Ironically, I chose this topic so close to Halloween. Indeed, the education of our children has always been a scary topic.

IT IS IN OUR OWN HANDS

Our joy and happiness are in our own hands. As accurate as that statement is, many of us don't know it, and those of us who do know it often forget it. I love writing because it is so revealing. I started a new job recently, and if you follow my blogs, you know I don't know how to stay still. I am a... Sign in to see full entry.

Life is About the Details

Keeping It Real

"Keeping it real." I often heard this phrase when I was growing up. At first glance, those three simple words may confuse you, as they do with different popular phrases used by different generations.
