Getting Better Sleep

UNITED STATES—The past two weeks have been one hell of a challenge for me. If there is one thing I value more than family, it is sleep. I’m an early bird; have been since I was a kid, will probably be until the day that I die. However, anyone who knows me is well aware, that I need a...

Football Season Is Upon Us!

UNITED STATES—Good riddance summer, hello fall! I will be the first to tell you all I am glad summer is behind us. I have never been a fan of the hot summer months. I hate when the weather is muggy, excessive heat, and the fact that I’m a natural sweater does not help the situation. I’m not a fan...

Blatant Racism

UNITED STATES—I could not believe the video that a family member sent me last week of a woman running for a city council seat in the town of Marysville, Michigan.

Banking Habits 101

UNITED STATES—How often do you go to the bank? For me it’s at least ONCE a week, maybe TWICE depending on how much business I need to take care of. However, you might be stunned to hear this from me, but I have NEVER in my entire life utilized an ATM machine. I know that’s crazy right!? It is,...

Fake Co-Workers

UNITED STATES—I am someone who has a difficult time smiling in the face of co-workers who I find fake. What do I mean when I say fake? It’s a difficult term to describe at times, but it’s someone who is inauthentic. In other words, you know when a ploy is in place. I think I can read people well...

Another Mass Shooting Rattles Our Country

UNITED STATES—It is really difficult to fathom what is going on in our country right now. It is like a common theme that we have a mass shooting transpire in this country every other week. Maybe that is a bit excessive, but it feels like we have a mass shooting in this country once a month and its getting...

Changing The Date Of Halloween, Really?!

UNITED STATES—What the hell is this craziness America? A petition to change the official date of Halloween which is October 31 to the last Saturday in the month of October sounds ridiculous. I mean the thought that this is even a thing has me laughing thru my teeth. For years, and I mean years, Halloween has always been on the...

Fighting For A Decent Minimum Wage

UNITED STATES—The battle is back yet again in Congress as the House of Representatives have passed a bill to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15.00 per hour.
