Every blog I post, every tweet I post, every status update I put on Facebook comes from me and in the most genuine way. What you see here and there is what you get. My life, my opinions, my crazy stuff all comes from my heart and head. Now I don’t reveal everything because everyone has the right and privilege of some privacy. Connecting with like-minded people is a great thing and can make this social thing even more fun. I encourage genuine dialogue and genuine posts because it tells the story about unique people who are trying to figure out this crazy world we live in. My friends lets strive to be the genuine articles.
The Season Of Advent Begins Today

The Week That Was, Weeks That Test Us All
What a week it has been locally and globally. Monday morning a school bus crashes that takes the lives of six kids and injures more. Then on Friday there is a shooting at a shopping mall. In between is Thanksgiving. In the national news former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and actors Florence Henderson and Ron Glass pass away. Of course there is political news being made as America awaits a new president.
For me at work I was tested in the response to the bus crash I mentioned earlier. I work for a blood bank that helped supply blood to those kids injured. My team passed that test I feel.
Weeks like this should only happen every once and awhile. There was too much going on in the universe in my opinion. I am sure there are plenty of things that were happening I missed too. You know the more we go through things like this the tougher we become. Rising to the challenges of life can give us experience we need to make it in the world today.
Our upcoming week I am sure will have its own set of things happening. All I know is that 2016 will go down in history as one that we will never forget.

Today Is Black Friday, May The Madness Begin! #blackfriday #shopping
This is a huge day for retailers because it begins the holiday shopping season. You will find amazing bargains in stores all across the country. I heard on the news this morning that people are using apps and the web as tools to get the best deals possible and that online sales will be bigger this year than ever.
To all of those who are braving the crowds and traffic may the odds be ever in your favor.
