16th December, 2014: The Day We Bled
On 16th December 2014, 137 children and a few school teachers were shot dead by militants in Army Public School, Peshawar. One year later, neither the grief, nor shock nor the suffering has abated for the parents of those&nb
Christmas Songs Project - "I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day"
As has become my annual custom, I will once again be sharing a holiday-themed song each day from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Day on Facebook. And, as I did last year, I will also be sharing some extra bonus information about some (although
The Choice Is Yours
We must change the lenses through which we view the world, if we want to grow beyond those things which rob us of joy. I deal with a great number of people on a regular basis. Whether face-to-face or in a virtual environment, I listen and observe th
Off to Find Some Peace
It is nearly 2:00 p.m. as I begin to write this post. I am feeling rather spent today, with my emotions running rather high. As indicated in my last post, I am in a place of movement and growth. I wish it did not feel as if things were c
The End May Be in Sight
I do not talk of this much, but there has been a horrible situation happening in my family for a long time. I have alluded to things with a couple of posts: This Affects Everyone and Poetry: Question for a Fool. I will not shar
An Unexpectedly Delightful Walk
Today was the second day of the Summer Institute and I only went for the one session my friend was giving. I tried parking in a different area of campus as I knew getting there as late as I did I would not find parking anywhere close to the conference cent
Feeling Rather Peaceful Tonight
I have not felt as grounded as I do today in quite awhile. It feels as if there is a sense of "simple acceptance," though I am not sure just how to explain what that means to me in entirety. Even without makeup on, and in very casual clothing, two peo
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 30 - Your Favorite Song At This Time Last Year - "Hallelujah"
I know that I've mentioned here in there in various comments sections, and perhaps even within one of my own articles, that I try to refrain from listening to music when I'm going through a really rough time, because I don't want a great song to have my sa
Blogging About Controversial Topics - YAY or NAY?
Do you pick controversial topics to discuss via blog posts? I lean more toward non-controversy myself. You seldom see posts about #politics or #religion at my blogs unless it's #history. But there is certainly a value-add to mentioning a controversia
One of My Old Friends Passed Away Last Month
I should have posted this sooner, but it’s not exactly something you -want- to write about. But I guess I should post it now…I had a specific group I hung out with during and even a few years after high school. While a bunch of us drifted, we
Christmas Songs Project - "Grown-Up Christmas List"
Christian recording star turned pop diva Amy Grant released this song back in 1992. She had already released a Christmas album by then, and had been featured as a vocalist on another. This track was included on her second solo Christmas album, "Home For Ch
The Right TO Die
I just read on Fox News again about how a 29 year old woman had decided the date when she will die. Brittany Maynard is only 29 yrs old and just been married over a year. They were planning a family but after their marriage she started to experience
You Will Always Be Remembered Dear Nanny
Forever Goodbye Dear Nanny Yesterday, while browsing and scrolling down my FB page, I have noticed the messages status of one in my friends list. He thanked his aunt for the love and care she has given them and ended it with rest in peace. It's co
