Happy July 4th! Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. ~ from The Declaration of Independence

Video Greeting: Happy Spring

I made it a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t manage to upload it to WordPress or Facebook from my phone (even with the help of the Sprint in-store customer sevice. I just noticed that it did, however, manage toContinueContinue reading “Video Greeting: Happy Spring”
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”
