Love Thy Neighbor

There are NO exceptions to the Golden Rule. America has forgotten that.

Airports. The one thing that's the same or familiar yet always confusing.

Where are we going?

Americans (and most of the world’s inhabitants) used to migrate to prosperity, innovation and employment. Now we expect it to come to us. 

Is it entitlement gone too far or just plain lazy?

Stop the Blame.

Our society has become hyper focused on laying blame. It seems many seek answers in finding fault in others, instead of the more difficult path of being self-aware of our faults and choosing a path of growth, improvement, tolerance, and enlightenment.  

And now we have stepped up our blame game and turned to conspiracy theories - the media, the government, the others… From blame grows helplessness and and negativity. It robs us of success, because if you continue to blame, then you can’t claim.

Yup. That’s the plan. . . . #stealingwisdomfromasign #ForeverME

Being a decent human isn’t that difficult.

All The Smiles You Can Not See

So many smiles, you have given me,

So many smiles, you’ll never see.

All these smiles, saved inside of me,

All these smiles, happen when need be.

A variety of smiles, just for me,

A variety of smiles, of joy, of naughty, of a memory.

All the smiles you can not see,

It’s what makes you so precious to me.
