Post Something New Today

I you haven’t posted in awhile, make today the day you post something new. A blog is a living, breathing thing that needs updating every so often. Even if its a picture or quote or a YouTube video. It takes just a couple of minutes. Go for it!

Keep-Calm-Its-Already-WednesdayHello friends and fellow bloggers I hope your day goes well. It’s Wednesday so we are on our way to the weekend. This week seems to be going by a little slow but sometimes that is a good thing.

It’s been a sad week in more ways than one with it being Holy Week as well as the tragedy in Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday. There is a definite theme to the week and we all must come together as a human family to show that love will win, always. God I believe is with us all through all this. My friends, be on guard, have each others backs and be there for one another in the chaos.

Let’s keep going, do our best and have the best day possible. Have hope! Love, grace and peace.

Tunes Tuesday: The Plastic Ono Band – Give Peace A Chance

On a day like today, we need to be reminded to Give Peace A Chance! It’s worth it for the future.

A Ramble About Cold War and Cuba

The longer you fight a war in your heart or mind the longer it wears on you and changes you. Eventually you forget what you were even fighting about in the first place. Perhaps the cold war of our souls should end so we can all live anew.

History is a good teacher but it is also something that holds us down from doing something new.

It’s past time for us to stop fighting the Cold War of the past and forge a new future with Cuba. It’s a place with a proud people who in other places in the world are treated better than they are by the old, tired guard of the USA. To create change there you must change here.
