Christmas has always been my favorite holiday of the year. This year, however, I was burdeneded by a feeling of utter defeat and all of the joy that I usually feel at Christmas time sort of fluttered away. Thinking back over the past twelve months, it was a constant struggle in one way or another,…
I am a firm believer in the notion that what really matters is the thought and sentiment behind a gift. The idea that someone has tried and thought enough of you to bring you a gift means more than any amount of fancy packaging or branding could ever mean. I’ve never placed much stock in…
I’ve had a lot to think about this week. There were issues at work that I worried too much about. There were issues with projects that I almost let overtake me. There were difficulties with a hundred minor things that really worked on my nerves this week. But when I allow myself a moment to…

Recently, I heard something that caused me to think a bit more than I wanted to. I watched a video that was sent to me and although I wanted to just disregard it, some of what was said made good sense. I didn’t agree with the whole thing, but there were a few valid points…
Today, I’m thinking about a few people that I know…or at least, used to know. For those who don’t know, I am the owner of a publishing company called Higher Ground Books & Media. To date, we have about 58 active authors whose books we have published. We’re an independent publisher, so these are individuals…
As we begin to see the pieces falling into place, it becomes even more clear that there is a group of individuals out there who have been manipulating our society into a place that many of us never asked to go. There has been so much fighting about immigration and who is legal and who…
