The Great Resignation…unemployment running out…new variants…Jan. 6 commission…what next?  During these times it seems it is survival first and foremost.  There is no time to be stylish, trendy or even modern.  Pinching pennies is what it’s about…and making the next bill payment.  But does it have to be that bad?  No…with proper budgeting, you can still […]

Each Morning Is A New Start

Our lives have many twists and turns.  Not every day is pleasant, and sometimes there is conflict.  For a brief time, I was raised in the 19th Ward of Rochester, New York.  It was the late 60’s.  Integration was at the surface of discussion all through the U.S.A., but where I grew up, WE WERE INTEGRATED.  No partiality […]
