If the girl you are dating now cheated on her previous boyfriend and has already cheated on […]

Harness the power of change
It’s no secret that nothing stays the same forever. Be ready for and embrace the possibilities that change can offer. Executive level thinkers become rich when change presents itself. Those who fear change usually get left behind. You may need to change jobs to get to where you want to be even if you have […]

Building Your Dreams
“If you buy a house, whether new or old, it was originally someone else’s dream. I have a goal to design and build my own house, as it represents me building my dream home. I have owned several homes, and while each one had certain things I liked, each also had some things I disliked. […]

Do you learn from them and resolve to do better? Is there a point of no return? Should degrees be applied to the offense? Let’s start with the definition; a […]

Sex is a problem in our Military
I read an article from the Associated Press entitled, “Sex is a major factor in military commander firings”. Some may be shocked and appalled at this conduct among our rank and file but as a veteran of the U.S. Air Force I was exposed to this behavior in the military fresh out of high school. […]

Latinos more visible at this Presidential Inauguration
This President helped to install the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor who swore in Vice President Biden to a star-studded celebration of Latino culture today.

New Orleans, Corruption and Ray Nagin
As a pastor in New Orleans, Louisiana folks in my community would always recommend that I run for political office. I thought about it and figured I might be able to do some good and change the political landscape or culture of corrupt politics in the city and community I love. My pastor ran and […]

When $50 million is a bad thing
A petition to have Beyoncé disinvited from singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at President Barack Obama’s inauguration was discussed today. Was it because she dresses very seductive or flamboyant, maybe because her husband is considered arrogant and a street hustler turned millionaire businessman? No, no and no. Beyoncé is under contract for $50 million to endorse […]

Are there any new lessons or revelations to be discussed here? I’m not sure, but I’m very interested to see if this changes anything in modern day sports. Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds were not first ballot hall of famers, Lance Armstrong admits to doping, LSU lost the top recruit in the state of Louisiana […]
