A Day Older, A Day Wiser
UNITED STATES—I recently celebrated my birthday and while I don’t think my age matters, let’s just say I’m in my 30s.

Grocery Spending Overload
UNITED STATES—I’ve discussed this issue in the past, but I have to continue to discuss it as I think its level of importance is much bigger than people are willing to acknowledge.

Politically Working Together People

The Importance Of MLK Day
UNITED STATES—Monday, January 16, 2017 is a very important day in American history. For some it is just another day off from work or school, but there is far more at stake. Why? We are celebrating the life of Civil Rights titan Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This is a man, who no matter what you think changed the...
What Makes A Powerful Speech
UNITED STATES—We have discussed in the past the importance of public speaking, however, we have not yet discussed how important a speech is in the public sphere.
