A few weeks ago, I saw the Broadway touring company of Hamilton at the Morrison Center in my city. I have enjoyed American history, our political upbringing, and all of the many players in the shaping of our country for as long as I can remember. Setting the life of one of our founding fathersContinue reading “Hamilton”

Prompt Day
If you change nothing about yourself and your life, where would you be one year from now? If nothing changes the way we live our life… we will be exactly where we are, albeit… a little better off because we are eating at home more and able to keep what we put into our savingsContinue reading “Prompt Day”
Black History Month
Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today. ~ Malcolm X ~ I found this quote today, and it resonated with me. I believe in giving people the benefitContinue reading “Black History Month”
Prompt Day
Do you have any regrets in life? I have zero regrets in my life. Everything I have lived through, including the avoidable periods of hell on earth, experiences influenced who I am today. I like who I am today, so I don’t regret the choices I made that led me here. That’s not to sayContinue reading “Prompt Day”
Budgeting
Write about your approach to budgeting. For the sake of this post… I’m talking about my net income. I have a simple approach to budgeting. I use the 80/20 approach. 80% of my income goes toward our everyday expenses. 10% of my income goes into our family savings account. The final 10% is my ‘fun’Continue reading “Budgeting”

This quote seems especially fitting in the political climate. “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervertContinue reading “Lincoln’s Birthday”

So, coming back to work on Wednesday feels like a Monday to me. At work, I have to measure outContinue reading “Prompt Day”
Day 19
I want to remember I want to remember why I love to read. I was going to be very specific and say: “read scripture” this morning. But, it goes beyond scripture for me on the Sabbath day. I want to remember why I started reading books in general. I distinctly remember it was in thirdContinue reading “Day 19”
Day 4
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? In general, I’m not really a gift type of person. I don’t care about ‘the thing’ someone gives me, I prefer to think about the intention behind it. My father only ever gave me two things that I still have today. The first is a goldContinue reading “Day 4”
