By Vernalee The phrase, For Whatever It’s Worth - categorizes feelings that may not be useful, significant, or acknowledged to be helpful by the listener. No matter the age, it’s never to late to set sails to be what you desire; to accomplish your goals. Whether there are ears that hear/validate what you say or do, it is left up to you to accomplish your goals. Besides, we have to live with ourselves and measure up to our standards; right?

By Vernslee “There is no “perfect” moment. Make your move now. Throw caution to the wind and set sail for uncharted waters. The right time is now! Don’t spend your life living other people’s dreams.” Timing is everything. It’s time to “do you!” Photo credit: pininterest

By Vernalee Today is more than a day off! It's more than a day of parades! Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. What a sacrifice those fallen heroes made! Today, we honor their memories!

By Vernalee And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 Saying you love someone is easy.

By Vernalee Diversity and inclusion expert Verna Myers, a star of the TED Talk Series states that “overcoming prejudice starts with identifying our unconscious biases and trying to rewire our brains to welcome differences and think more inclusively.“ Verna (no biological relations, but similar in spirit) a Harvard educated attorney coined the expression, “Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.” Thus, if you are anything like me, we have p

TWO FACED PEOPLE Two faced people … I know you know them! They are hypocrites and live up to the meaning of the title. They say and do one thing in your presence and are completely opposite behind your back. Of course, they are not to be trusted …even when you are looking at them! I find them to be despicable!
