I am an American. I was born in this country and I love it here, I love the land, the tradition, the richness, the beauty. I embrace the songs of our country and sing them proudly. When I was a child, my parents took me to Washington, D.C. to see the monuments and to feel

Wringing your hands won’t do you much in the way of anything productive, we all actually know this. I think it is an old habit someone started when they wanted to hold the hand of a loved one but no one was there. It might have started as a way to provide a bit of

Happiness comes in all sorts of packages but there is one package that never changes — YOU. The real trick is to be primed for happiness and to be intentional about it. How does that happen? It is not about smiling all the time and denying your feelings — quite the opposite. It is about

Labor Day 2013
Monday, 02 September 2013
What an interesting concept — to honor the labor of others. Straight from Wikipedia, here is what we learn: “In the United States, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.
