40 days and 40 nights of giving.
Every year, around this time, my parents lay the old Catholic guilt on me until I vocalize at least one item I will give up for Lent.
Yesterday, (Ash Wednesday) kicked off the Lenten season which leads up to Easter. I grew up going to Catholic school and understand the whole premise behind Lent. Lent [...]
New Way To Get Around This Weekend
It’s the weekend and about now we are all unwinding from the work week trying to figure out what we’re going to do, who we’re going to see and how we’re going to get there.

Seeing my “shadow” today means a bright future for us all
Sir Walter Wally, the Triangle’s official groundhog, saw his shadow today, meaning we may have 6 more weeks of wintery weather in the horizon.

While MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) has been found in hospitals [...]
Are States UNITED during elections?
As the time to close polls during this important election near, I am noticing a pattern in the frequency of problems that voters have experienced today at the polls…confusion, poor planning, inadequate training, precinct resources, staff and technology glitches seem to be a reoccurring problem across the country during each election.
I remember having heard about [...]
Peace.
On Friday, I attended my college’s Alumnae Board meeting and Promise of Peace fundraising campaign kick off event on the college grounds. The President of Peace College, Laura Bingham, who is always full of energy and inspiration shared this quote with us…
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no [...]
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage this month
Sept. 15 was chosen as the kick off date because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18. Although a little earlier, another Latin American country, Brazil, celebrates their independence on [...]
