Wake Up Today?
Since you’re reading this, you obviously woke up today. What big plans do you have for the day? Somewhere there is someone who did not wake up. Just like that, the show is over.
A lot of us, myself included, sometimes take this for granted. A few weeks back, I was having Read More

Demystifying Twitter
Join the conversation. 
Isn’t that what they tell us to do? So…have you?

Are you smarter than a 9 year-old?

Thanks…
…Don’t forget to give it.
All too often, we take things for granted. Many of us have more opportunity in front of us than we even have time to recognize, more friends than we need and an annoying, underappreciated relative that we see each Thanksgiving. This year, and hopefully each year going forward, try to Read More
