The Spirit of Christmas 2011

At the beginning of this holiday season, we were besieged with story after story about people who did not believe in Christmas.  In fact, they didn’t believe in much of anything except their right to speak out against the beliefs of many others.  They were so busy protesting the fact that many wanted to erect [...]

All I Want for Christmas Is Hugs

This has been the most unusual Christmas season ever for me and maybe for others, too.  I don’t know what it is but something different is definitely in the air.  For the first time ever, I don’t have my cards addressed and sent, I don’t have my Christmas shopping done and for some reason, I [...]

Meeting My Cyber Friend in Person

About two months ago, one of my friends from Twitter and Facebook contacted me about suggesting some sights and sounds to enjoy in my local area.  It seems that she was planning a trip from Norway that included a bit of the Los Angeles, CA area and she wanted to know what she most needed [...]

Penn State University and Joe Paterno

I am extremely disturbed by what has happened to the reputation of the Penn State University and now former football coach, Joe Paterno.  After the arrest of former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, on child abuse charges being brought by a grand jury indictment, someone decided that that blame should be placed upon Joe Paterno and [...]

How We Can Help a Breast Cancer Patient

As we wind down on Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I began to think about some of the real issues for a person diagnosed with breast cancer.
