Book Review: DAVID AND GOLIATH by Malcolm Gladwell
The stories in David and Goliath reconfirmed that all the challenges in my own life have been blessings. Certainly, in the short-term, pain does not feel like a blessing. But the way you process your pain and build from it over time, strengthens you and adds wisdom and insight that you otherwise would not have.
Quote: Life as a resouce
“A writer – and, I believe, generally all persons – must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely.

How many calories did I burn climbing this mountain?
I fell behind. At first I felt self-conscious for holding up the group. Then I realized I wasn’t holding them up. They were moving speedily forward like young goats. After that, I slowed down more and took deeper breaths. I rested for as long as I needed and moved only when I was comfortable doing so. I stepped aside to let people pass me. I took in the view and shared conversation with the woman lagging behind with me.
Song & Verse: ALL OF ME by John Legend
Recently, I heard John Legend sing his new single, All of Me, live on David Letterman. The song took me away. A beautiful and emotionally eloquent expression of love.

All that glitters is not gold.
“People who only receive and appreciate validation based on how they look are only ever going to be concerned with the image they portray and how other people view them.

Interesting RED graphics minus commentary
FOOD FOLKS FUN & GAMES POP CULTURE BIBLE 1+1=2 for MORE THE BEST VISUALS So much for my “no commentary”: Even though this is a plug for, it shows that the two different parts work together in order to function properly or serve the purpose of their creation.
The tulips are coming! The tulips are coming!
In recent years, I’ve come to appreciate that every season, in its time, is my favorite season…. There is a purpose for the season you are in. Make sure you get what you’re meant to get from it.
Song & Verse: Getting Reacquainted with James Ingram at Duane Reade
Talk about a blast from the past! While making a quick pit stop at Duane Reade before hopping on the subway, I was surprised to hear “I Don’t Have the Heart” by James Ingram on over the speaker. It’s been so long since I’ve heard that song, I started singing along while walking through theContinueContinue reading “Song & Verse: Getting Reacquainted with James Ingram at Duane Reade”
