We are being bombarded by many sources of campaign jargon, memes and talking head punditry. The buzz and noise are inescapable as we try to maintain our sanity while reconciling concepts like "DEI", "Flip-Flop" and being "WOKE." Recent dramatic changes in our political outlook give us a renewed sense of HOPE. I'm hopeful, knowing that constructive change requires constructive action. Thanks for joining me.

Our world is a little harsh right now. OK, ALOT harsh! But there is also much beauty and inspiration around us…if we’ll only pay attention.

We’ve got work to do, but we can heed the many reflective observers who have gone before. Here are their suggestions to prompt our effective and thoughtful response. Thanks for joining me.

EASTER CUTENESS OVERLOAD…
Life’s Roller Coaster!… Easter! April 1st! Youthful celebration! Senior demise. Our inevitable life cycle. We can choose to delay and deflect, but only for so long. Life is short, unfair…but well worth the living. Our children amuse and inspire us. Our seniors validate the extended effort. We’re the products of those best efforts. We’ve got choices. Let’s strive to choose wisely…
