Personally, I'm caught in the middle: eager to hit the greens but grateful for the much-needed moisture in our region.St. Patrick's Day celebrations were in full swing last weekend! The Shane Gillis concert delivered big laughs, and the Edison House party afterward kept the festive sp...

On a day where twenty things worked in my favor, I’d often find myself clinging to the one thing that didn’t, the one thing somebody said or did to upset me.

2018-12-051h 06Conversations to InspireMisconceptions Surrounding Homelessness, Why Community Matters, & How This Hair Salon Is HelpingThe word "homeless" has such a stigma attached to it.

“The best way to change negative stereotypes about people experiencing homelessness and ultimately end homelessness is to teach young people how to be compassionate advocates.”
—National Coalition for the Ho...
