It may be important to be willing to listen to others opinions and ideas, but it is equally important to take time to research and understand the situation before you offer your thoughts and ideas on the topic at hand. An uninformed opinion can be dangerous. Being offended because someone uses facts to discuss your […]
Waiting for broke before you make the decision to change things is like trying to bail a leaking boat with a spoon. Every action you take seems to be countered by negative results. It often feels like the better choice is to just give in. Don’t wait for broke. Broke is not fun. The type […]
Storms wreak havoc on your life – sometimes they disrupt your schedule and sometimes they toss and turn you until you have no choice but to seek shelter. Just because you have to stop for the moment doesn’t mean you have to quit altogether. I quit, or I wanted to quit. I had been going […]
“Your blood should still boil.” The words were shared in regards to the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. My gut reaction involved tears instead of anger.
