…so Dan is stuck on this rock, sore and hungry for over 24 hours…

How Much of the Education of Children Is Our Responsibility?

…Mey here doing a quickie blog on How Much of Children’s Education Is Our Responsibility?

…this was inspired by what I heard from a student teacher…

…that the teacher she is observing teaches remedial math…

…and she calls the students names…

…these students are not by children and yet, I feel I’m responsible for them, and all of the education for all children…

…and the basis of that education needs to be founded on love…

What is Retirement and Do You Want It?

What is Retirement and Do You Want It?

…Mey here blogging quickly on a Saturday evening as my husband takes our son to the store to satisfy his craving for an egg salad sandwich on the topic – What is Retirement and Do You Want It?

…it’s an interesting question and today I was at the funeral of a dear friend who only retired in June 2013 and has passed away at 67, didn’t even collect her social security yet…

…she had plans to travel the world…

…and it struck me to write this very important post…

…because a lot of people work so hard so that they can retire…

…most never do, and working as greeters in Walmart (as my mentor Tracy Walker pointed out)…

…I ask you, if we are to live our fullest life, then why would we ever retire?

…and why would we work a job that we don’t enjoy in the first place?
