Black Friday Preparation

UNITED STATES—It’s here America, the biggest shopping day of the year has arrived, um, Black Friday, um, wait is it Black Thursday now? Man, I’m not so sure anymore, but it will always be known as Black Friday in my eyes because when we first started the tradition in my family it was during the wee hours of Friday...

Spread The Love, Not The Hate!

UNITED STATES—I am so HAPPY the election is over! I mean super excited. I was so tired of the mudslinging, and the hatred that was being spewed to the American people. Unfortunately, I didn’t expect the election of Donald Trump to be the next individual to succeed President Barack Obama would divide this country in the way that it...

Watching What You Eat

UNITED STATES—Well, we’re less than a few days away from the biggest cooking holiday in the year: Thanksgiving. Last week, we spent an abundance of time discussing the keys to preparing for the big feast, but now that it’s here, what’s next? Well time to determine what goes on the plate and what stays off. That is the problem with...

The Black Friday Debate Rages

UNITED STATES—Well in a little under 2 weeks, the shopping season will kick off in full gear as Black Friday dawns upon us. I can recall about 10 years ago, actually 20 years ago, Black Friday as most Americans know, kicked off during the wee hours in the morning between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Well, a lot has...

Thanksgiving Is Coming!

UNITED STATES—I seriously don’t know where the time has gone, but it seems like as soon as Halloween comes and goes, Thanksgiving is literally right around the corner. I mean in less than 2 weeks many of us will be cooking that massive meal to host for the family, cleaning the abode and preparing to deal with family members...

Tough Choices

UNITED STATES—Life is full of tough choices, but when most of us are faced with that dilemma, it sometimes leaves us scratching our heads on rather the choice we make or the choice we made is the right choice or not. Those choices revolve around family, work, school, relationships, housing, children, and so many other things. So when it comes...

No Consideration!

UNITED STATES—Time is precious, it’s valuable for most people. The one thing about time that is super important to understand is that once it’s gone, it’s gone. You can’t get it back people. So this is why I’m a bit frustrated this week, because I feel like at times people have no consideration for my own personal time. I’m a...

Spoiled To The Core

UNITED STATES—Being spoiled, would you argue that is a good thing or a bad thing? In my personal opinion, when you spoil a child, it opens a door for them to be spoiled as adults which is not a good thing in my opinion. If a child has no idea what it means to struggle, how can one expect...

Everyday Essentials

UNITED STATES—What are some of your everyday essentials that you need to operate at full capacity? Is it a cup of coffee, a balanced breakfast, clean towels, a good night of sleep? Think about that for a moment. Now ask yourself what you would do without having those essentials to keep your battery running. This is something we all...

Vote, Vote, Vote!

UNITED STATES—We are less than 4 weeks from the big presidential election and I feel like this year the importance of voting is at a feverish, and I mean feverish pitch people. I thought 2008 was critical with so many people making the argument that not voting could be detrimental to the direction of the country, but I think...
