Being Thankful for All of the Good Things

Here in Chicago, the buzz is centered on our now defunct Governor Rod Blagojevich who has just been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for selling President Obama's former Senate seat.  The judge emphasized that Blagojevich threw away his position of being the top appointed government official in a state which is compared to the President of the United States for money.  Blagojevich was in a position to help the constituents of the state of Illinois; instead he didn't aspire to be an honest Governor.  Governor was beneath him, he wanted access to a higher paying job and power.  Now Blagojevich is on his way to serving a 14 year prison sentence without money and power.

As, I  was watching him and his family on television today, it made me realize that we have to be thankful for the things that we have.  It is great to have aspirations for more; however we must be grateful for what the Creator has given us and use it for good and not our own personal aspirations.

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life.

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...
