Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Farewell Facebook

I said farewell to Facebook again today. A break is necessary before I say more things that are hurtful. I am still available here on the blog and on Twitter.

Changing Tone

I am going to do my best to avoid political posts for awhile. A change in the tone of my blog would be good for me and for you my readers and followers. Everyone needs to change the tone of the conversation at some point. Now is a time to live in the moment.

There is still much to do to keep those in leadership in check and to preserve the rights of every citizen to have access to life, liberty and happiness.

So, now let’s change the conversation.

In a world where bigger is seen as better perhaps something smaller is going counter-culture. The tiny home movement has been a huge part of that shift into downsizing and simplifying ones life. How much space does one person really need to live efficiently. Perhaps the drama in our lives is the amount of stuff we have crammed into it. Living big sometimes means you have a smaller footprint. Smaller spaces can inspire big style and big functionality. There seems to be a lesson where tiny is the new big.

Today is Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom, which is the equivalent of Veterans Day in the USA. To my friends in the UK I thank your veterans for their service and sacrifice too.

Daily Prompt: Or

Or is a kind of choice thing. It’s this or that. One thing or another. You or me. Coffee or tea. Wine or beer. It’s about an alternative to something like Android or iPhone. It provides us an opportunity to decide on something we want. Recently we had a choice of candidates H vs. D.  Be glad there is an “or” in life because if there weren’t life might be more difficult.
