The Division In The Country Looms
UNITED STATES—So many people think a war is brewing in the United States of America. Not between another country in another continent, but amongst our own people. It is wickedly odd and scary that we live in world right now where people don’t see to understand that you can disagree with someone and yet still be friendly, but at...
Keep Your Thoughts To Yourself
UNITED STATES—Why do some people feel this need to push their thoughts onto others? So many people I know seem to think WHAT they feel, what they KNOW, is always RIGHT. Do you know how annoying that is? A person who thinks they are always right, they can never do anything wrong? It is NOT just annoying it is...
Difficult Career Choices
UNITED STATES—I was delivered some game changing news this week from a family member that shook me. You know how people tell you things they want to accomplish when it comes to their career path and you start to think, “I can see you doing that.” If I were to ever think of my nephew’s career path the first...
Have We Forgotten About September 11, 2001?
UNITED STATES—I am sorry I had to pose this question because even I forgot on Sunday, September 11, 2022, marked 21 years since the attack on America that changed this country as we know it.

Excessive Heatwaves
UNITED STATES—A vast majority of the United States has been dealing with some extreme heat lately. For me I have never and will never be a fan of heat or summer.

Spinning Rides No More
UNITED STATES—I am an adrenaline junkie and I like to think when it comes to trying new things I’m not afraid. Amusement parks are at the top of my list.

Is Medicare’s 7-Month “Initial Enrollment Period” For Part Or Part B?
UNITED STATES—Hello Toni, I am new to your column. Extremely informative! I am turning 65 next March and am puzzled about Medicare’s 7-month enrollment period. I’ve heard that this period is only for Medicare Part B and that confuses me because I do not know how to enroll in Medicare’s Part A?
Can you enroll in Medicare Part A and...
What Are Nightmares A Signal Of?
UNITED STATES—As of late, I have been encountering some nightmares that have been a bit triggering for me and not in the best way people. I spent plenty of time as an undergraduate heavily studying the impact and power of nightmares as a psychology student. I was always fascinated by the mind and how it operates. I’m a big...
