Labor Week

UNITED STATES—This is something that has been discussed for years, and I mean years dating back to my early childhood. After the recent shooting that transpired in Jacksonville, Florida at a gaming event, it raises the question if video games are indeed dangerous. A crazed man, after being eliminated from the competition grabs a gun and shoots and kills...

UNITED STATES—It is a question you hear all the time and I think people think it is easy to answer, but it really is not. What is your passion in life? When I say passion I’m referring to something that just stirs the body, your mind, and your emotions in a way that nothing else in life does. It’s...

UNITED STATES—I tell people this time and time again; there is a vast difference between a job and a career. Some might argue I’m using that terminology to establish status, but that is not the case in any fashion. When I talk about a job it could be something temporary or unstable, whereas a career might have a bit...

UNITED STATES—Can you recall the last time that you had eight hours of sleep? Do you recall the last time that you went to work and didn’t feel exhausted before you entered the door? How about feeling like no matter how hard you work, you still have a ton of work that you still haven’t gotten completed? Yeah, we’ve...

UNITED STATES—I did something this past weekend that I haven’t been able to do for a while? Any guesses as to what I’m referring to? I was able to take a few dollars I had left over after paying off all my bills for the month and treat myself to something. Yes, unfortunately it’s a rarity for me, but...

UNITED STATES—It seemed like just a month ago, kids were just getting out of school, and with the snap of a finger, its already the second week in August. Yeah, you know what that means? School is right around the corner America and there are some major dos and don’ts when it comes to school supplies. If you enter...

UNITED STATES—There are 24 hours in a day, but for the life of me I am constantly complaining that there is not enough time in a day. I’ve had this conversation several times, where if you actually break-down the day, there is very little time to one’s self. You sleep 7-8 hours, you work 7-10 hours, you commute 1-2...

UNITED STATES—You sometimes have no idea how a baby not only changes a person’s persona, but their entire outlook on life. My sister recently had her second child, one that came a lot sooner than expected and watching her with her baby girl charms my heart. It’s funny because she was not due until August 3, but for reasons...

UNITED STATES—Stress, it is that mental thing that is not easy to describe with words, but you kind of know it when it becomes a part of your life. Stress is the ability to cope with things transpiring in your life that you may not have full control over as you’d like. I learned even more about stress and...

UNITED STATES—I love to say money and I am not afraid to shout it out to the world. People sometimes call me cheap or overly frugal and I don’t see it that way at all. What I can consider overly cheap is purchasing items from consignment shops or yard sales when one has to the means to purchase items...
