This classic rock anthem from the 1980’s is about female empowerment and great dancing. Love is a battlefield among other things.

Just Because You Can Do Something, Doesn’t Mean You Should.
Jeff Goldblum had one of the best lines in that classic dinosaur tale. Take a lesson from Jurassic Park as well as other things in this world that should have had a little extra thought behind them. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. Take caution when deciding what is best. Think twice, do once. Have discernment, be wise.
Monday’s And Other Days Are Hard
It’s true, very true. My friends I hope your weekend was a good one. We all wish it were longer though. Let’s power through and make it the best day possible. Let’s do this, whatever this is.
People From Other Places Do Cool Things #immigrants
In case you wondered what people from other places do to make the world better. There are a lot of things that make life easier, more delicious, healthier and safer. Without immigrants my country as it is right now wouldn’t exist.
Love Wins, One Year Ago
One year ago the United States Supreme Court decided in favor of marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then thousands of couples around the country have the right to marry the one they love. LGBTQ people can realize the hopes, dreams, benefits and promise of marriage. I salute my friends who are now living the life they fought for and dreamed about for years. May God bless them all today. Love does win, every time.
Education Killing Terror, Fear
I found this on Facebook. Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan is a young woman who faced fear and said it sucks. After being injured at the hands of extremists and lived to tell her story, she has become a global inspiration for us all. Perhaps we should focus on what is doing harm to the world. The 21st Century must be about advancing humanity instead of advancing harm, fear, unnecessary tools of destruction and most importantly making peace, making love and not making even more war. Just imagine if we focused on hope instead of hate.
We should be building schools, bridges, opportunities and not walls. Our greatest weaknesses come from a place of being scared I think. Maybe, just maybe we can change course, do good things. Love one another.
