Think Differently About Money Changes Your Perception On It
UNITED STATES—Money. It is the one thing some Americans have, while others are struggling to get more of it. Money is a complicated thing. I know people like to think you can just clear your mind, put it into the universe and loads of money is going to just start falling in your lap. I wish that was the...
A Thanksgiving To Remember
UNITED STATES—Thanksgiving 2022 was a bit different than previous holidays for my family. For starters, I had to work, which has become a norm for me. When you work in retail, you unfortunately don’t have much of an option, plus I don’t mind because the actual day itself is not that busy. It is an opportunity to get paid...
Jury Duty 104: The Deliberation
UNITED STATES—I promised in my last column that there were fireworks during deliberation when I served jury duty for the umpteenth time. Never have I encountered a deliberation like this people. Tensions were high, people were invested and opinions were heard. After closing arguments, we were taken to the jury room to begin our deliberation in the case as...
Back To School Routine Kicks In
UNITED STATES—Gosh, I feel like the summer of 2023 moved at a feverish pitch. It felt like June just a few weeks ago, but now, we’re wrapping up the third week of August and the kids will soon be headed back to school at the end of the month in most parts of the country. In some states, kids...
Time You Cannot Get Back
UNITED STATES—Time, it is the one thing in this world that you cannot rewind or get back. There is a saying that there is never enough time in a single day. We like to believe it's 24 hours, but it’s actually 23 hours and some change. For most Americans, we spend more than half of our day at work....
Wasting Time
UNITED STATES—Time, there is only about 24 hours in a day, but to be honest it’s a lot less, around 23 hours and some change. So the one thing that peeves me more than anything is people wasting my precious time. Yes, I used the world precious because to me I have very little time in a given day,...
Football Season Is Upon Us!
UNITED STATES—Good riddance summer, hello fall! I will be the first to tell you all I am glad summer is behind us. I have never been a fan of the hot summer months. I hate when the weather is muggy, excessive heat, and the fact that I’m a natural sweater does not help the situation. I’m not a fan...
Fall Is Here People!
UNITED STATES—This might be only me, but I am so glad that summer is over and fall has arrived. I love fall and I love this season because it encompasses everything I love: college football, apples, pumpkin, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, leaves, rain, autumn weather, fall clothing and so much more. Do you really want me to continue? One of...
Christmas Shopping A Little Early
UNITED STATES—We’re being told to start Christmas shopping a bit earlier this year because of rising prices as a result of inflation and the possible shortage of goods. Well, let me tell you America, I normally do begin my Christmas shopping around August each year, but this year I started a bit later, like in the last week or...
People Vote Based On Gut Reaction
UNITED STATES—If there is anything that annoys me to the core it is when someone persuades you how to vote. I do not like it; it just boils my blood to no end. Your perspective on an issue may not align with mine and if they don’t align guess what: IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. We...
