We are living in a unique period in time. We have news shoved in our faces 24/7, immediate home delivery of everything from groceries to alcohol, and we can reach our friends on the phone anytime…anywhere.
With these luxuries comes great responsibility. We are still called to work, be respectful and courteous to our fellow man, and raise our children the right way in a world that’s new to us. We cannot let decency die out as technology dominates our lives. Be kind. Always…
If you look around, and you don’t have to look very far, I believe you will agree there is much darkness around us. We live in a broken world. People fight with each other over pointless things, which further divides us.
I believe we should be a light to others, bringing goodness and kindness with us. We won’t help everyone, but we will help some. Bring light and life into the lives of others…
If you believe everything you see on social media, you might think that everyone’s life is perfect. It’s not. We show people the outside, not the pain, the hurts, struggles and worries of life. Remember this when interacting with others. We don’t know what’s going on inside…
All of us have regrets. Time wasted. Things we wish we hadn’t said. Hurts we have caused. The important thing is to learn from these past regrets. Forgive yourself for these things, and make a personal vow to not repeat them…

Benjamin Franklin told us the only certain things in life are death and taxes. Old Ben left out a few. Today’s short examines another certainty in life…struggles.
What are the characteristics in others that you find attractive? I value intelligent, kind hearted people who have depth to them in their spirit. What about you?
Twenty years ago, our world changed. In some ways we changed for the better, which is what I will focus on today.
Remember how nice people were to each other after 9/11? We had more patience, grace, and patriotism. We came together. I often wonder where that went. Are we so divided one generation later that we will never return to cohesion? I still believe in the goodness of mankind. It begins with me…
Everyone is struggling with something. Let’s treat others with kindness…
I have a gift. People willingly share their personal stories with me without prompting from me. I’m honored to listen. Every person’s story involves hardship, loss, pain.
