To lose is to gain!

Losing hurts! Losing a game hurts your pride, losing a job hurts your finances, and losing a loved one hurts your heart. For me, the most painful loss of my life was losing my father to cancer. I wasn’t even thirty-years-old when I lost my father. Losing him hurt me deeply. Although losing does hurt,Continue reading “To lose is to gain!”

Do you get anxious while you wait?

Do you get anxious while you wait? Sometimes, I do! Have you ever gone to a restaurant feeling extremely hungry, but when you get there, it’s a forty-five-minute wait?

Along with choosing the right words toContinue reading “It’s not just what you say but HOW YOU SAY IT!”

Better late than never?

I will never forget the day when my mother and I were crossing Clinton avenue on a busy afternoon. Traffic was moving fast and we were far from the crossing lane. We were late for my after school program and I wanted to get there as fast as I could. I thought if I canContinue reading “Better late than never?”

Choose you battles wisely!

Some of today’s war zones are found in our hands or on our desks. These wars are not fought with guns and tanks, but with a keyboard. We live in a society where everyone has an opinion, and if you disagree, you may feel the right to make your opinion known.
