It’s the last Saturday of 2017, hard to believe isn’t it. Times does fly when you are having fun or something like that. Make it a great day my friends.

Daily Prompt: Extravagant

The extravagant expression of love, peace and grace is needed in this world, now more than ever. People need the extravagance of spiritual, emotional, psychological and financial security. Everyone should be afforded an extravagant piece of the pie.

Trying out a new pizzeria in Red Bank, TN. Pizzeria Cortile is doing some great Neapolitan pizza in a very unexpected place. Very impressed.

The New and Improved tonyburgess1969.net

Announcing my new and improved blog look for 2018. I have taken the four-year-old Twenty Fourteen and have tweaked the CSS to make it look very blue which is very me. I am a big fan of white font on dark backgrounds because I think its much easier to read and it gives it a certain style.

Twenty fourteen allows me to pull in my blogging community in a very effective way too because I am looking at making my blog the central social network for me in the coming year. Not only is my blog where I express myself its also a connection hub too for you the followers.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

 

Something About Me

When you connect with me you get an authentic person who is kind, considerate (most times) and caring. I will always try to lift a person up. I am overly eager and a people pleaser. There will be no saying I am sorry for being nerdy, geeky and dorky. I am like a Labrador in that I am overly friendly. I will call you a friend even if we have met only a couple of times. The stuff I am passionate about like my heart is worn on my sleeves. When you get me you get someone who is flawed, faithful and awkward at times. Sometimes I am sad but always hopeful and positive. All I know how to be is myself and I hope that is enough for anyone who wants to be in my life. I will stand for the little guy and living in a just world for everyone. I am a believer in my higher power (God and that sort of thing) and its that faith that informs me to be who I am. I promote inclusion for others and hope the same for myself.

In short, what you see and read is what you get with me.

Other people can show us the path but we must take the journey ourselves.
