June 14 is World Blood Donor Day. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate those who give the gift of life and spread the word about the value of donation.

What we see every day around the world is situations where blood is needed for those in need whether it be for surgery or because they have been in a serious accident and require an emergency transfusion or as we have seen in Orlando the need because of a mass shooting. You never know when you will need blood to save your life or even saving the lives of someone you love. Being a blood donor means saving 3 lives with every donation. If you can donate please consider donating today.

Save A Lot Grocery Haul, Because You Gotta Eat @savealot

This is just a portion of what we bought. The perishable stuff is in the fridge and freezer.

The Sunday after getting paid is when we head to the grocery store usually. We go after Church just because it’s convenient. Save A Lot is a discount grocery store with a smaller selection at cheaper prices. Saving money is important and lots of folks will do their shopping there and at places like Aldi and Trader Joe’s.

Before going to the store take an inventory of what you have, plan a menu and shop accordingly. There is an app called Out Of Milk that can help organize your shopping trip. You save money and time that way. We will eat well this next couple of weeks.

A Ramble About Life

Life is family, friends, community and love. Life is about taking advantage of things that come your way while returning the favor. Living means being all-in to the things you are passionate. Keep your life in check though, don’t let it get away. Be good in this life because it truly matters. God is in the details so you are covered in life.

The Hopeful Legacy of Prince

396f451fb517fb9fa0917cc45edbc9c8I hope that kids today will see Prince and say that is awesome music. May that inspire them to learn how to play, write and perform music that lasts generations. Prince can inspire us all to do great things in our chosen field to make our own music.

His life was about doing amazing things that made the world take notice. We all have our influences and may he continue to influence generations of people even in his death. Much like ripples on a pond he made waves and gave the world songs that will last forever.

Hard

Sometimes you think too hard
You can work too hard

Maybe you love too hard
Often you are hardly there

The bed is hard
Your heart and your head is hard

Candy can be hard
Sleeping on a hard floor

Yep life can be hard
Hard knocks can be hard

This poem was written some time ago. It is not how I feel. However the universe might feel this way.
