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!

I am 45 years old and I don’t think I want to be known as someones elder, although I am technically. Long living is a badge of honor and the longer you live the more opportunities you have in life but you know I don’t think I want to be “superior” to someone because I am older. Children should be taught to respect their elders but there comes a time in life where there is equalization despite ones age. People you once called Mr./Mrs./Ms you can call in time by their first name. Age is a number, sometimes it must be respected but other times its something that shouldn’t be a serious issue.

I blog because I want to express myself and share the things that interest me. Perhaps my reasons for blogging are different than other folks. Many of the blogs I have seen as of late are very well done and seem to have a singular focus on a particular subject matter. Many people have a particular subject they like to write about and its interesting how they bring their passions into the world. Which leads me to think I need to sharpen my focus a little, well maybe. Can a personal, general purpose blog be of interest to people who’s blogging game is on-point?

The greatest advice I can take is to be genuine and to engage my readers on a personal level about the experiences we all share together. As I spend more time here on WordPress the more I realize I need to step up my game a little. Friends you have amazing blogs and I hope to be as good as you all.

I still believe in the power of a blog to change, inform, enlighten, inspire and entertain. Without connecting to people a blog is not doing what it should and could.
