Love is the Answer
“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.”

Sunday Update: Food on the Road
This past week I spent in Tucson participating in professional development and year two towards my IOM designation. I stayed at an airbnb location instead of a hotel. Smart move.

Small Business Review: Wax Werks
I’m in Tucson for continuing education. I have this weekend free. Last week was a mad house – mom in the hospital, new years eve, getting ready to come here — just no time to have my (pregnant) niece Lorraine wax my eyebrows and lips. As you get older, hair magically appears on your face,…
