What's Your Excuse, Now?

We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

America's New Heroine!

The pictures say it all!

Gabrielle Douglas: Raising an Olympian

This is what America is all about! We only hear about the negatives but there's a lot more to us than some folks would have you to believe! There are brothers and sisters coming together for the better good. If we took the time to know each other and treat each other with respect, who knows how far this country can really go? I love this story! Mothers across the miles showing that they are all the same! God bless America! I know that I sound a little over the top on this but we can't do this "life" thing by ourselves. Indeed, we could not "build" anything by ourselves. We have people along the way to encourage, support, and uplift us. We all should be proud! Now if we can get Congress and Washington to get their act together, we could win more than just gold!
