Labor Week

UNITED STATES—It was the story last week that literally ripped my heart out of my chest. Hearing about 2 year-old Lane Graves being snatched by an alligator while walking near the water reservoir at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Hotel in Orlando, Florida shook Americans. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and to make the matter worse, is knowing...

UNITED STATES—We’ve had this discussion before, and yet again, we are back to having the discussion yet again about another mass shooting, this time, one of the deadliest in American History.

One second it’s all about Donald Trump, then its...

UNITED STATES—Eating healthy is no easy task, most Americans know this. You can tell yourself a trillion times that you will do so, but if you don’t put a plan in place to do so it will never happen.

UNITED STATES—It has been said time and time again, driving is a privilege not a guarantee, yet so many people think they have a ‘right’ to be behind the wheel of a car.
