All you have to do is ask. There is an invitation to each of us for communion, companionship and community. Having an open door and an open mind allows new things into ones life. Everyone has an invitation to experience life in a new way if they just say yes. Too many times we say no to things that might change us for the better. There are opportunities in abundance to help others and you don’t need an invite for that, just keep your eyes and heart open and you will find your way. Life is a party and we should all have an invite to it.

Six Word Story
Life without change is really boring.
Daily Prompt: Culture
Culture is defined as the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.. It is also defined biologically as the cultivation of bacteria, tissue cells, etc., in an artificial medium containing nutrients.
So if you think about it culture is a collection of various things that sustain life in a community and in a person. Without culture life is not as rich, rewarding, interesting and healthy. We need culture of all types to make the world a better place. Culture is expressed differently around the world and that is what makes life more interesting and diverse. There are many things of culture that feed our bodies and feed our souls. Every part of life is dependent upon one form of culture or another. Multicultural life means that we recognize the rich heritage of people of all walks of life. No two people are the same and perhaps that is a good thing.
Celebrate culture in all it’s expressions today and always.
Something About Life, Liberty, Happiness
“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. This is also something that I feel should be extended to every human being around the world.
No matter who we are or where we come from everyone should have the right to a life of their choosing, the liberty to work for it and the freedom to pursue Happiness. One thing I would say is that no human being should prevent another from being able to be who they want as long as its legal, ethical and does not impact others in a negative way. So that means you can’t go streaking naked through a movie theatre yelling fire, fire!
No matter who you are, you should be able to dream big, achieve big and to do good things that can make a difference for your friends and neighbors. America is great when life, liberty and happiness are accessible to everyone no matter creed, orientation, race or ethnicity. It’s my hope no matter where you live in the world you have the opportunities to be who you choose to be in the place where you are now.
Be happy and make the world a better place by being yourself and living well.
Something About Relevance
Being relevant is more important than being trendy. I think that relevance is a long-term solution to being timely and timeless. Being relevant means that you are working hard to keep up with the world around you. It also requires an open mind and loving heart. At least that’s what I think. What do you think?
A Ramble About Keeping Your Cool In The Lean Moments
To make anything happen when you are short on resources requires ingenuity and team work. I have been reminded of how you have to inspire others and to remain positive when things are not optimal in the situation you are in. For many the reaction when you are behind the eight ball is to panic but you can’t do that. Cooler heads will always prevail.
You have to be a little fearless and experimental to get through the obstacles of the moment. Now it’s OK to be a little afraid as long as you don’t show those cards to anyone. Confidence is a significant asset too (something I am working on) but most importantly keeping your focus on the task at hand can lead to good things. Always keep your chin up your eyes looking forward and find your motivation to move forward.
