Family Bonding Time

UNITED STATES─If the coronavirus has taught us anything, it’s to be extremely appreciative of family. Being resigned to the house with family for weeks and months in some cases, it’s tough. You love your family, but at times they can push your buttons in ways that are not the easiest to grapple with. However, I would not trade this...

The Needs Vs. The Wants

UNITED STATES─If there is one thing I have learned in recent months it is how to be better with my money. I’ve come to the realization that just because I want something does not necessarily mean I need it. I know this sounds bad, but this pandemic might have been one of the best things that could have happened...

Will America Ever Be The Same Post COVID-19?

UNITED STATES─If you were to ask me a month ago where things stood in America regarding the coronavirus crisis, I would say we were on the right side of things. Ask me that question today, and I feel like we are traveling down a path that is NOT good and I’m worried where things are headed people. Now, I’ve...

There Is A Reason I Hate Summer

UNITED STATES─Since I was a kid, I have never been a fan of summer. When we get into the months of June, July and August, it just causes me to sigh. Why? I know I’m going to have to deal with humidity and heat. These are two things I hate with a passion. Whenever the temperature gets above 75...

Patience That I No Longer Seem To Have

UNITED STATES─I’ve known this for a while, but it seems to hit me more and more as I get older: my patience is waning. Why? I had to make a run, as it seems the economy is slowly, but surely reopening and it seems things while not normal is trying to get there. I have no problem waiting in...

Sleeping Dilemma

UNITED STATES─Sleep it has to be the one thing that I crave more than anything in life. I will be completely honest: I don’t sleep great at night.

Porch Pirates And Missing Packages

UNITED STATES─Porch pirates, we have all heard about it, but have you ever been a victim of it? Well, you can add me to the list because a package that I ordered online earlier in the week, one that I had been waiting days for because I wanted to ensure it was delivered in time for Mother’s Day apparently...

Stronger Family Communication

UNITED STATES─If there is one thing this pandemic has taught me more than anything it’s that family matters more than anything. You never realize how much you miss something or someone in this case, until you no longer have access to them. I mean this self-isolation and quarantine has placed many Americans in a predicament where they have not...

The Quarantine Is Starting To Lighten Up

UNITED STATES─It is starting to seem like the federal government in addition to state and local governments are starting to lighten up on the restrictions of staying-at home in regards to the Coronavirus pandemic. With that said, we are nowhere close getting back to normal, but it feels like some people seem to think otherwise. I’ve heard countless stories...

Small Businesses Not Getting Money Needed

UNITED STATES─I’ve wanted to talk about this for some time now America because it raises the biggest question of all: why are so many small business owners being denied money the government set aside for them? I mean a $2 trillion stimulus package was enacted to help Americans and businesses sustain life in an unprecedented time. Yes, Congress was...
