It has been becoming difficult for me to quietly sit back and not scream my frustration with people in a position of power who are not standing up for youth at risk of failure. Whether you are a parent, a teacher, a mentor, a friend, social worker, counselor, tutor, a member of clergy, member of [...]

With Graduation rapidly approaching for many high school seniors, i got to wondering how many people consider themselves a self-starter or a self-motivator. In the last few weeks of school, in a person’s senior year they begin to see the results, or lack there of, of their accomplishments. This is the time where taking [...]

This is a news story that floats my boat with a plethora of excitement; an internet superstar, Gary Vaynerchuk, has been awarded a book deal with Harper Studios. Congratulations to Mr. Vaynerchuk. This is exciting because breaking into traditional publishing is no easy feat. It is my understanding that many physical books that are published do not make [...]

I have been observing alot of situations in the news and in the events that happen around me…I’ve come to the conclusion that the secret in overcoming any challenges or events in life has to be in deciding not to let any circumstances or event define the rest of your life. I think a [...]

This is the time of year when people make all kinds of resolutions…some are attainable and some are not. Many times people make New Year’s resolutions and set themselves up to fail because they are too big or grand…the promises they make to themselves; or to others, just aren’t realistic. However, I think i have [...]

It’s been happening for some time now…people have been becoming desperate. Those same people have been losing their jobs, their homes and their income.

I have been thinking about leadership alot lately and it’s direct connection to success or failure. Leadership whether it is in government, business, organizations, religions, education or, in personal relationships is very important. Not everyone can be an effective leader. There are more followers than leaders; so it is extremely important to follow the right [...]

Sad news tonight, Anne Pressly, the Little Rock Arkansas news anchorwoman who was found, by her mother, severely beaten this past week in her own home, has died.
