I’ve been told that when you’re in “retirement,” that you don’t get any days off. In a way, I agree with that, at least in my life. As long as one lives, it’s important to keep following your way or, in other words, living your calling(s). In Ukraine, the noble people do not have a…

I was walking in the neighborhood just the other day and the weather was beautiful. An attractive blonde lady was sitting outside on her steps, simply enjoying herself. I asked her, “Do you want to know a secret? >There are no perfect parents. >There are no perfect children. >And there are no perfect presidents.” We…

It can be, and often is due to laziness, negative emotions (whether conscious or unconscious), bad habits, manipulation of a listener(s), or simply failing to perceive in any kind of depth PEOPLE. >Think before speaking or writing!

It is the business of ALL of humanity to NON-VIOLENTLY retire the dictators Putin and Xi. They must accept this future.
