Make a wish on a shooting meteor......
Does making a wish on a meteor work the same as making a wish on a star? If you live in the Detroit area yesterday evening the night sky lite up as a meteor went racing across the horizon plummeting to earth. I was at an intersection near my home when it happened. Prior to this bolt of light I was jamming to a favorite track "Good Old Days" by Macklemore as I sat at the red light. I was driving across town on this cold evening to drop off some of my books ("Overcoming Ob
Breaking Through The Glass Ceiling
Glass ceiling: So it's a ceiling that you can see through but you can't go through. Right? Typically a term used in corporate America. You can see what others have but it isn't meant for you. I have a hard time with that term. It seems all the role models I look up to the glass ceiling did not apply to them.

Yup, that is a picture of me and my mom. Way back when at my house in Naperville, Illinois. I was probably around 10. Now back to this blog.... Why am I making this so complicated?

Sadly I am at an age where I have more and more friends that have lost a parent to illness. I have had this exact conversation more times than I wish.

What is normal? Mental Health
I'll be honest. I wrote this one and let it sit for awhile. Normally I publish instantly in fear I will change my mind if I wait. I'm not sure if it is a topic people will appreciate me writing about or be offended by my opinions. But in true spirit of all my other posts...... We have one life to live so I am going to share all my thoughts on this topic. So I am sitting in the car waiting for a light in Miami yesterday. I don't have XM radio in my rental car or if I do
