Ramblings

UNITED STATES—Birthdays, they come around once a year people, and with that assertion, they should be celebrated if you ask me. However, the older I get, I see the importance of a birthday not being as important as I once considered them. I’m not only speaking from my perspective, but a lot of friends and family members that I...

UNITED STATES—It’s a New Year, and the opportunities to reach for the stars are unlimited if one is willing to not dismiss their potential. One thing that has been on my mind for the past few months is not faltering on accomplishing things that I want to accomplish. This holiday season, there was plenty and I mean plenty of family...

UNITED STATES—Positive energy, negative energy, we all deal with bouts of it on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. We have days that are good and we have days that are not so good. However, it raises the question of why some harper on the negative instead of focusing on the positive. I bring this situation to the forefront because my...

UNITED STATES—I’ve heard this argument before and it seems it has reappeared yet again after the 2016 presidential election. What is the purpose of the Electoral College if America is a country dictated by democracy? Rule by the people for the people, that is what democracy is all about. However, the idea of the Electoral College changes those dynamics. To...

UNITED STATES—Well in several days, we will bid adieu to 2016, and welcome 2017 as we kick of the New Year. For some, 2016 may have been a great year, for others 2017 may not have been the best. One thing that is important to note is reflecting on the good, the bad and the so-so during a year...

UNITED STATES—Christmas, I swear this is the one time of year that I absolutely, and yes, I mean absolutely adore! It’s something about the giving spirit that makes me 10 times more excited than what I normally am during the other 11 months of the year. Ask anybody who knows me and they will tell you right away that...

UNITED STATES—Snow days, for most kids it’s something they pray for, but little do many know so do adults. Those living in the Midwest and on the East Coast this past week got pummeled with a major snow storm that dropped serious snowfall in the region. For me, we saw about 11-13 inches of snow. Yeah, that’s a lot,...

UNITED STATES—How often do you go to the doctor? No, that is a serious question that I am proposing. Some of us would like to think going to the doctor every blue moon or only when we get sick is a good idea, but I honestly beg to differ. When you have a family history of a certain disease,...

UNITED STATES—Well, Black Friday, um, Grey Thursday as it has been appropriately coined has officially come and gone, and we have another 360 plus days before it arrives again. For myself, it has been a tradition in the family for years, at least 20 plus years for myself if not longer. And 2016, was no different, except, I was...

UNITED STATES—Getting in front of a crowd of people and giving a presentation can deliver a ton of nightmares for most people. It’s one thing to speak publicly, it’s another thing to speak publicly and have to deliver a presentation at the same time. This week I had a little bit of anxiety, not nerves while preparing for a...
