Dear readers,
I have been taking some time dealing with some life changes. Many new and wonderful things have happened to me that required time to adapt. For one, I began a new job and made the decision to live a fulfilled, happy life. However, despite all of this joy, finding contentment in [...]

Since the Haiti earthquakes occurred, I have heard many people say, “We should be helping our own people! There are plenty of people here that need help. Why are we helping other countries when we can’t even help ourselves?” Although I understand this way of thinking, I also know that, no matter what the [...]

This Christmas, I received a very special gift.  It wasn’t a gift certificate, a fruitcake, or a Snuggie.  I received the gift of savor.  Savor meaning that I learned to savor the moment.  A week off of work, two weeks off of school, and time with my family and friends left me very grateful.  I rarely [...]

Thank God I had good teachers and parents in my life. Now that I’m a parent, my only hope is that I will make a difference in at least one child’s life and carry on my parents’ legacy.

It’s funny how much life changes after kids.  I used to be one of those people that had the perfect house, shiny car and great social life.  I shopped for the latest fashions and had my hair and nails done every week.  As a teenager, I swore that I’d never have kids.  As the eldest of [...]

For God’s sake, if you know you have everything to earn a good life, pull your weight and give the rest of us a break. I don’t appreciate having to work my butt off to hold up some lazy jerk. I have my own life to worry about.
