It’s strange how much the present is clinging to the past instead of embracing to the future. America I’m looking at you.

Seventeen Years With WordPress

This achievement snuck up on me today. I can’t believe it’s been seventeen years since I first got a WordPress.com blogging account. I have not been posting regularly all those years but it’s cool to be recognized. Thanks to everyone who has made these years of blogging fun a reality. As I always say, keep on blogging good people.

A Message About Kindness

Kindness is not an act. It is a lifestyle.

Be kind but have your boundaries. It is also kindness.

Leader or Follower, Maybe Servant

Daily writing prompt
Are you a leader or a follower?

I don’t know how much of a leader I am. I tend to follow more. However, I would like to introduce a 3rd option, servant. To serve takes a unique mindset that you must give of yourself and help others. I suppose some characteristics of leadership and following go into being a servant. What the world needs now, more than ever are leaders and followers who are willing to get their hands dirty and to serve their fellow human beings.
