People utter the most awkward remarks at funerals and memorials. Over the last year, I have attended several funerals and memorials. Can someone please tell me the difference between what is a funeral and what’s a memorial? I am sometimes appalled by the posturing that takes place as “some speakers” at these very sensitive events attempt to impart to the audience ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Connecting North and South
Even though there is resistance to California High Speed Rail (CHSR) project, my belief is we will witness the unfolding of this rail system sometime in the near future. Some naysayers of CHSR are very reluctant to change their behavior to consider a viable alternative to their “iconic” cars, so the debate continues. Since leaving Brooklyn, New York to ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/The Right Choice
It is common knowledge that most problems can be solved once the appropriate actions are taken.

Too many individuals who are affected by the Childhood Obesity epidemic are refusing to discuss it. Thus, the epidemic continues to growth at a feverish pace in American society.

Curbing Bad Behavior/Enough With The Profanity
As a public relations consultant, I pride myself on knowing a little bit about the concept of image. I attend workshops, read blogs, books, newspapers and magazines, participate on webinars, engage with my colleagues and attend professional development conferences all with the intention of becoming a knowledgeable and skilled public relations practitioner. So this past weekend, when I learned from several ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Self-Preservation Society
The current “Debt Ceiling” debate caused me a lot of anguish. I am quite sure it made many Americans angry. Even the politicians who voted “for” or “against” raising the Debit Ceiling were agitated about casting their votes. With remarks such as “President Obama should be more engaged in the process,” “John Boehner cannot control his caucus,” “Harry Reid ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Tempus Fugit
It seems the more we age the faster time passes or maybe it’s because we place more tasks into our daily lives. As I post this blog, I realize the month of July 2011 ends this coming Sunday. How quickly the first seven months of the year passed? I reminisced on what has occurred in ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/The Beautiful Game
I was elated to observe the pride, joy and pain the USA Women’s Soccer Team provided their American fans throughout the 2011 Women Soccer World Cup.
