I’m cheating today. I am sharing an opinion post that I didn’t write but saw shared on Facebook (Thanks to Gaylan for sharing!) It comes from a former West Virginia legislator. I have thought about,and had a lot of discussions about her topic. It is one reason why I write this blog. She puts it … More Friday – Bearing Witness
“What if…” That’s how every episode of Wild Kratts begins. The Kratt Brothers say it with such energy and excitement right before they’re whisked away into the animated world of creatures and adventures. My youngest, Eleni, loves this show. Honestly, I do too. It’s that perfect mix of real-life science and cartoon storytelling, educational, colorful, … More Wednesday – What If…
I was talking to a guy the other day, and he said he hadn’t had a day off in 28 days. Yikes. (Isn’t that a horror movie? Oh no, that’s “28 Days Later” but working 28 straight days seems like a horror movie) I was like, “OMG…why not?” And he just kind of shrugged like … More Monday – The Power of an Enrichment Day
If I was elected! I’ve thought about this probably more than I should. But hey — when you’re a kid you imagine you’re the star quarterback or the point guard. As an adult, maybe it’s not that strange to imagine you’re the President or a senator… right? (Okay, maybe a little strange. But stick with … More Saturday – If I was Elected

And the idea is this: Just wish happiness. Yup. That’s it. Just wish happiness for the people you meet today – and … More Just Wish Happiness
(I wrote this years ago but current events brought it back to mind and I thought I would share again with slight edits) I want to tell you a story about three men — Tege, Tesfa, and Manny. Three very different lives. Two businessmen from Ethiopia. One baseball player from the U.S. All three successful … More Tesfa, Tege and Manny
I learned something today! (To be fair, I learn something practically every day because I ain’t too smart on many things and I’m curious about a lot of things, so… there you are.) I subscribe to Seth Godin’s blog (he is smart) and he wrote a short blurb on this today and it sparked my … More Monday – The Fermi Paradox (Where Are All the Aliens?)
I went to the No Kings Protest yesterday. It seemed like something I should do. I mean, it should be obvious that we do not want a king, or a king-wanna-be, here in the United States of America. Now, there are folks on the right saying, “We don’t have a king! Trump won a national … More Sunday – No Kings
