If you around, you know exactly where you were when the news broke. Myself, I was doing my radio show (B95) and was talking on the air. Our on-air studio looked into the news room and we had TV monitors and they all showed one of the Twin Towers in New York City on fire. I was mentioning that it looked like a plane had hit it. At that moment another plane hit the other Twin Tower and I knew, this was no accident. I’ve rarely been unable to speak on the air, but for a brief moment, I didn’t know how to verbalize what I had just witnessed. I collected my thoughts and shared them with the listeners. I played one song, made the decision to stop the music and we went to straight national news. I pray none of us have to live through that again. Be sure to take a minute and remember the thousands that were lost on that day.

What makes us human is having thoughts and many times we’ll disagree about those thoughts or opinions. Not that long ago […]

It’s Monday (again!?)
It happens every week, Monday. Have you noticed that it’s how it’s said that can make the day. Follow me for a second. If you say “it’s Monday again (ugh)” you’re obviously dreading the day. But, if you try “it’s Monday!” as in let’s get a fresh start, your day may go just a little […]
