If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart. -Lao Tzu...

Regarding Joe Paterno & Graham Spanier at Penn...
If one knows of an injustice and does nothing about it they are part of the problem which is why I’m aligned with the decision of the Board of Trustees to relieve them of their duties. This is about the kids and who could have done something about the abuses. To all of those at Penn State or alums, maintain the dignity of your University by demonstrating solidarity with those abused and not...

Newsweek: "Dear Occupy Wall Street Protesters" →
Stay leaderless and anonymous. It appeared at first that not having a leader, a single face people could relate to, would be your fatal flaw. Now it seems to be the mark of your collective genius. The media would pounce on a leader, or leaders, and reduce your entire movement to a life story, a…

Today is not just about ‘Never Forgetting’. We must reflect on the actions of terrorists taken 10 years ago on 9/11 and look at how we can take responsibility for ensuring such acts of violent extremism do not fester - do not transpire - in our Nation or others.
Ask questions. Converse. Be open-minded. Exercise compassion. Be tolerant.

Moving Forward
Everything you know is based on what has already happened in your life. And yet, your only influence right now is over things that have not yet happened. The things that have already happened have gotten you to where you are right now. What you need to be concerned with, however, is where to go from here.
