Labor Week

UNITED STATES—I know I’m not the only person who has experienced this, where you have a day or a week that you are absolutely frustrated to the core. Now, let me be crystal clear: I said frustrated, not anger. Anger and frustration are two different things. Anger is an inability to control how you feel; there is a level...

UNITED STATES—Have you ever been in a position where you know something is wrong, but for reasons you cannot fathom you refuse to open your eyes to see what is staring you directly in the face? I know I’m not the only person. We all have those ‘moments’ where the light is shined on you. You see or realize...

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...

UNITED STATES—If there is anything that I cannot stand it is people who are just rude and nasty. Look, I get it that people have bad days it happens to all of us, but that does NOT give you a pass to be an a**hole. When I speak of being rude, this is NOT only how people talk to...

UNITED STATES─I am really happy to say goodbye to 2019. There were an unbelievable amount of challenges I faced. Rather it was family, personal, work or school, I was tested in more ways than I ever imagined. Was it challenging? Anything in life worth fighting for always is. However, I am so looking forward to 2020 because there are...

UNITED STATES—For months, we’ve heard about how important the Iowa Caucuses are for political candidates. For the Republican field it could diminish the number of candidates, which has dwindled down slightly, but there are still quite a few candidates in contention. When you look at the Democratic field it was more of a battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders....

UNITED STATES—There are those people who have the luxury of purchasing items without having to worry about price, but then there are those of us who make it our mission to find a good deal at all costs. Look, you can still get high-quality items at a great price. There are so many people who think you have to...

UNITED STATES—Let me be clear this is not a column aimed at the issue of people expressing their opinion, which I know many people will suspect the title hints that. However, this is aimed at the idea of us processing what we say before saying it. Once again, this is not aimed at people saying stupid things, but attempting...

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. If I’m lucky, I might get 6 hours, but for the past 3-4 weeks, I’ve been averaging probably 4-5 hours of sleep a night. Yes, America I know that is not...

UNITED STATES—We have those in the world who are leaders and we have those in the world who are followers. I have always wondered why so many people are willing to follow a blind leader, when they have the capacity themselves to control their own fate. We may not realize that it’s not in the best position to be...
