Your E-Mail Address and Your Identity
Where you live online has become more important than your street address offline, unless you have packages delivered to you. Specifically, your e-mail address says more about you, and moves with you, than any other identity we can have. Because whether or not you […]
Artists, Photography, and Blogs
Social media was intended to be a place where good people of all walks of life are free to express themselves and share opinions authentically. With the widespread censorship we’re currently witnessing runs contrary to this purpose. Likewise, it is a false myth that […]
The Secret to Finding True Rest
While growing up, several members of my family would take a nap in the middle of the day. It was called a ‘power nap’ that would help you to be alert and focused for the rest of the day. But another concept that I […]

While growing up I used to lie all the time, until about my college days, because I had low self esteem, short of the long, and I wanted to be accepted by everyone. Then I realized how exhausting it was to remember what lie […]
People Don’t Like What I Say
In this digital age we have many choices from social media, to e-mail and mailing list, and even blogs, to write our thoughts. But the thing I often hear from people is they have fear of sharing their thoughts because people won’t like what […]

I Make a Case for Writing My Blog on Vivaldi
I just read a book by Glenn Reynolds, “The Social Media Upheaveal”. He says that we are deep reading less, and learning from headlines more. He also says that many of us share on social media articles that we have not read, more so […]
A Country of Immigrants
The United States is a county made up of immigrants. Many immigrants I talk with say the USA is the greatest country in the world. It’s a land of opportunity. A place where, through hard work, dreams do come true. In my view, every […]
