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!

Celebrating 10 Years At Blood Assurance

Today (well yesterday) is my 10th anniversary at Blood Assurance. It’s hard to believe I’ve been dialing for blood donors for a decade. This is the longest job I’ve ever had. It’s been a ride full of ups and downs. I am thankful for this organization that’s dedicated to saving lives for providing me a place to make a living and to make a difference. Here’s to many more years ahead.

Something Funny for a Sunday

Tony The Tiger is the mascot of Frosted Flakes cereal. I found this bit of satire to be funny especially since my name is Tony.

Thanks to The Facebook for this funny cartoon.

No To North Korea

Daily writing prompt
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

I think North Korea would be a very depressing place to visit. The country is basically a cult centered around one guy who happens to be a huge nepo baby. They also have a huge military that hasn’t seen action in years if not decades……..They treat their citizens badly if they fall out of line. Sure, some of it looks fascinating but not worth the risk. Yeah, North Korea would be a big no from me. It’s too off the wall and just weird.

A Call For Peace Everywhere Especially The Middle East

Lots of stuff is going on in the Middle East. Now would be a good time for a call for peace. May there be peace on Earth and may it begin with each of us.

Tacos and Taxes Saturday

Most of us love tacos. All of us hate taxes. This Saturday we kicked off with breakfast tacos of eggs, ham, salsa and cheese. Later on, I worked on our 2023 income taxes which was painless. I always wait to the last minute on doing taxes because it’s not always been pleasant. The rest of the day is about getting a few other things done and chilling out. I hope your day is going well.

Thank Goodness Friday Is Here

Happy Friday to all of us. It’s been an interesting week to say the least. Let’s have a great weekend everyone. Love and peace good people.
