It was a long difficult day at work.  As usual it wasn’t anything different.  The bosses constantly put pressure for performance, continually insisting one take on more responsibilities.  Just waking up in the morning knowing what one was going to have to endure, just made one want to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over the head.   Thank heavens it was time to go home, which was bitter sweet knowing...

Following a beat that is close to our heart Yesterday afternoon I listened in on member services calls to individuals who had called into our “800″ number.

Grammy-like Reward   What is that I hear?  Another song keeps playing over and over in my head.  Is it the rhythm of life?  Any task I perform plays a melody from my heart.   Any thing I must do is always made easier because of the music being played.  It is as if work becomes play following the beat to make things neat.  Is it to make one smile because smiling makes one healthy, wealthy and wise?   I...

Marvel at the Sunrise of a New World with Honest Hope!   As a young teenager growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the 1960’s; I felt part of a very progressive community.  Because of the University of Michigan, I was privileged at an early age to have that era’s brightest teachers.  It prepared me for an optimistic view for our future.   I became proud of my father when he helped drive a car load from...
