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!
Kwanzaa is a secular festival observed by many African Americans from December 26 to January 1 as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values.
To all my friends celebrating may this be a day of peace, celebrations and love. May all humanity have the spirit of this day.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Today looks different for many of us. Having yourself a merry little Christmas is the order of the day. As you celebrate be mindful of those struggling and suffering. It is also OK to leave up your decorations past New Year because we need brightness and beauty to illuminate our world. No matter what your day looks like may it be one of peace, love and grace. Also, wear your masks for all of us.
I donated blood today because it seemed like a good thing to do for those who are in need. This was just one way to help my community. Also since I work for the blood bank I can say I have done what I ask others to do.
