American Freedom
I love the 4th of July and I love fireworks! They seem almost magical. But what they are representing was anything but magical! Do you recall our national anthem? It begins like this: Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the...
Time to Reflect
While I would not encourage anyone to focus on their past, you can learn from and reflect on your past, in order to move forward more productively. Rarely do we take the time to reflect. In fact, most people do not like to reflect on what was. Sometimes, because they...
