All posts by Tony Burgess

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!

Two Things

I think there are two things I would say to a fellow blogger at any level.

1. Keep on blogging…if you stop you might not start back again. Fake it until you make it when necessary. But chill out if you need to.

2. Be the star of your own blog. Your blog is about the world from your point of view. Let that show to the world.

Friends be the blogger you can be even when life is tough.

Upgrades

I have a custom domain through WordPress.com does anyone else have site upgrades such as extra space, no ads, that sort of thing. What has been your experience there, have you even filled up the free space you have?

Connections

It’s amazing the connections we make with people who we never thought we would become friends with. Some folks surprise you when they want to be your pal. Those connections reveal the depth of our hearts and souls that we look past appearances into something greater. Friendships are a vital part of our world and we all need them. It is through our friendships that we learn more about ourselves. We need to be wary that we see ourselves poorly when others reject us though. Each of us are valuable people and its great when others see it and sometimes let us know that value. Connections are cool!

Meryl Streep and Rick Springfield In A Movie, Yes Please!

I am looking very much forward to this movie. The greatest actor of our lifetime with an iconic rock star / soap actor. It’s rom com meets rock. There is much to like about this flick.
