Here it is days after the elections and I’m still wondering….why? Why do so many people want to take away a fundamental right from others? I’ve heard that allowing same-sex marriages takes away from the sanctity of marriage. I’ve truly pondered that one for a long, long time and I don’t get it. What does […]
A friend sent me a link to this NPR report on “Think You’re Multitasking? Think Again.” I was told at a previous job that it was not humanly possible to multitask, so we were to do one thing at a time. Of course that ignored the fact that we’d be fired if we actually waited […]

Someone pointed me to this youtube video. I loved what Taylor Mali was talking about and it got me thinking. First watch the video then read my thoughts.
