The Inagural “Strength” Count : You Can Play Too

I'm looking forward to today's inauguration of our 44th President. It's a ceremony that is uniquely American--one we should take the time to recognize. That said, I vaguely recall the previous 8-10 of my adult life. It's hard to know exactly how many... given the count of 2 term presidents. I do very clearly recall one that predated my arrival, the inauguration speech of John F. Kennedy, whi ...

Just a few minutes ago I was watching some of the survivors from US Air flight 1549 that was so skillfully put down in the Hudson River yesterday... they were speaking with amazing gratitude about the pilot,  about the fellow passengers.

Even if You Can’t, “Yes We Can”

Not every person in America voted for Obama. No doubt people stand against, and will continue to stand against, issues but I don’t believe that one can in good conscious stand against the President Elect—any more than one could stand against hope. There has never been anything false about hope Whether you’re able to see it now or need to wait until some time in the future, we are not as divided as our polit ...

Strength with a BIG-”S”…

Today Americans decide who will lead US out of this dark time and bring our country back to full Strength. If you've been tuned in, you most likely noticed that Strength has been a favorite theme throughout this election, for both candidates, and for good reason: Strength is what we must have to transform.
