I know this story has been passed around over the internet for years, but it still says a lot about who we are. Every one of us see ourselves in this story, in one form or another. Next time, which one will you be? ‘Some people!’ snorted a man standing some distance behind me in […]

Twice last week I read articles about ‘funemployment’. At first I wasn’t sure what to make of it, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became (I even sent an email to one of the ‘journalists’, but I haven’t heard back yet). Apparently ‘funemployment’ is a term used for someone who is

Recently, I contacted one of the owners of locally owned and operated Blumz, in Downtown Detroit and “Fashionable” Ferndale, requesting permission to write about his company on our blog.

In 1969 Elisabeth Kubler-Ross published “On Death and Dying”, bringing, for the first time, a mainstream awareness to the human side of terminal illnesses and the like.

I believe they have over 3000 faces on this 100 foot long banner. Today they are unveiling it at the Chrysler Sterling Heights Assembly plant at 16 Mile and Van

My bad habit started last fall sometime and got worse through the cold, snowy winter (and spring) we had this year. After awhile I didn’t even think about it; I just did it. It just became a habit and now it’s a hard habit to break. But I do need to address it. Not just

Surprisingly, someone in California didn’t get the memo about potential employers checking out social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
