Hi All,It's been a while. 🙂I'm working on something new, but it's probably going to be a couple of months before I can start posting. I also need to do some housekeeping on here, so that will probably come first. Need to get organized!Hope everyone is doing well. I'd love to hear what you've been up to, so feel free to let me know in the comments.Until next time, Eddy

Hi Everyone, For today’s post, I want to share some thoughts about grace, which has been on my mind a lot lately.How do you show someone grace when you don't think it's deserved? How do you continue to show someone grace when they clearly don't appreciate it? Why do so many people, especially women, feel guilty about showing themselves grace? I'll be honest, I struggle with grace.

Hi All, Coming up on Tuesday, March 8th is International Women's Day. This year's theme is "Break the Bias" because bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead in the world. Take action by calling out gender bias, discrimination and stereotyping, and encourage others to help forge women's equality. Until next time, Eddy #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias

Hello Everyone,How's the new year going so far? Recently, I saw a news story about the oldest living person. Her name is Kane Tanaka and she just celebrated her 119th birthday on January 2nd. Below is a photo of her taken in 1923 at the young age of 20. Beautiful, isn't she?Kane has been living in a nursing home in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, Japan since September 2018 and she still gets around on her

Hello All,It's hard to believe that close to nine months have passed since beloved game show host and television personality, Alex Trebek, passed away. For those who grew up watching "Jeopardy!" each night, it's definitely strange not to see him hosting. The guest hosts have been holding their own, but it's just not the same show without Alex. Many believe that "Jeopardy!"champion, Ken

Hello Everyone, It's been a couple of months since my last post, and even longer since life was "normal" for all of us. How do we make sense of life in times like these? Seems all we can do is keep on keeping on, hence the quote I'm sharing today.     In other words, hindsight is 20/20. Life is ever changing, moving, evolving... so all you can do is live, reflect, learn - repeat.
