Our flag stands as a symbol of hope in crisis, of pride in success, of valor in battle, of freedom in the face of tyranny, and of comfort in grief. Wear and wave yours proudly, today and every day! This is one of my favorite poems about the flag.

Life presents us with rare opportunities in which a person, a story, has a deep impact on our lives. I am so thankful for the gift of Randy Pausch and his book The Last Lecture.

My first exposure to Randy was not long before he passed - I saw him on 20/20 and on Oprah, a vivacious man riddled with tumors and yet full of a spirit that could not be dimmed by the disease ravaging his body. His love of life, and ...

Americans are pressing the perpetual snooze on the alarm clock of debt.

They are going to wake up one day, very soon, and be a day late and a country short.

While conservatives have been distracted by birth control, Sandra Fluke, and the "war on women," Paul Ryan has been hard at work on a new budget plan aimed at solving the REAL national crisis - our ballooning, out of control debt and deficit p...

Why did I select Thankful Thursday as a weekly topic for my blog? Gratitude is a gift.

My parents did an amazing job providing me with a childhood that allowed me to enjoy life but also be extremely grateful for the little things. We didn't have a lot growing up - my father was in the Air Force and we had enough to live happily as ...
