Overloaded, Exhausted And Burnt Out
UNITED STATES—I hear this question all the time: why are you so tired? I sometimes have to laugh inside because if I truly said what I wanted people might think I’m attacking them. That is not the cause, but its exhaustive going through the laundry list of things that I have to deal with in life. I have two...
Term Limits For Politicians
UNITED STATES—It is a discussion that has been chatted about for quite some time, term limits for politicians. I know in some states you can only run for governor for 2 terms, some states longer. We already know with the President of the United States you can only serve two terms, and this appears to be a direct result...
Intense Workloads Test Your Abilities
UNITED STATES—If there is anything anyone who closely knows me and have met me in person, the worst thing you can tell me is I cannot do something. If anyone ever asks me to utilize one word to define myself it’s resilient. Throw a ton at me and I will bounce back it might NOT happen overnight, but it...
Sleepless Nights About Work
UNITED STATES—Have you ever had a dream about work that seemed so vivid that you absolutely knew it was real even though at the time it was all made up in your head? I’ve had a few of those dreams lately and I’m trying to make sense of things. Why? The intensity of the dreaming has actually scared me....
Anxiety In Life
UNITED STATES—I suffer from terrible anxiety people. I honestly have an idea what triggered it, but I feel like as I get older it has gotten slightly worst. It does concern me greatly as I have spoken to a therapist about it and the advice she gave me has helped when I actually apply it. The goal is to...
Should The Age To Vote Be Lowered?
UNITED STATES—It is the age old debate that seems to have no end in sight: should the voting age be lowered in the United States? Before you answer that question think about it for a second. Really think about it America. There is a proposal by a U.S. Congressman Ayanna Pressley from Massachusetts. I didn’t realize that the voting...
Family Can Be A Pain
UNITED STATES─With the holiday season as I like to call it, fast approaching, many of us are placed in that conundrum where we have to deal with dreaded family members that we do not personally get along with. That is the thing about holidays, we love it because we get to spend it with family, but at the same...
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And His Mission
UNITED STATES—It is hard to believe that the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have turned 93 years-old this past weekend. It is still hard to fathom that this titan who changed the scope of race relations, relationships and the world during his short-time on this planet was assassinated back in 1968. Each year, I reflect on King’s...
Economic Downturn
UNITED STATES—What makes a city vibrant? Is it the geographic makeup, is it the people, is it the businesses, is it the economy, safety, work opportunities? There is a lot in play people, but I'm seriously tackling this issue as a native Detroiter, where all the talk of town right now is the anniversary of the 1967 riots that...

UNITED STATES—Last week was a big week for the United States as President Trump ordered a military strike against a Syrian airbase after a chemical weapons attack that left dozens of people in Syria dead. More than 50 Tomahawk missiles were launched in the attack at the Al Shayrat Airfield to make it crystal clear to Syria and Syrian...
