There are moments in life and even our every day, that unbeknown to us, droplets of wisdom fall upon us. I’m keenly aware, as a person in my mid-twenties, there are so many more life-lessons to be learned, and I am equally aware to open my eyes and keep my focus, because in our […]

I came upon this wonderful story of a little girl who won the National Foundation for Credit Counseling’s 2007 financial literacy poster contest. This year’s theme was, “Plant the Seed of Saving to Grow Your Future.” Her name is Krystal Saunders, a twelve-year-old, seventh grader at McKinley Middle School in St. Albans.
I think […]

Irish rock star and global humanitarian Bono became a knight of the British empire Thursday — and joked that his youngest son thought he was about to join the Jedi order instead.
“You have permission to call me anything you want — except sir, all right? Lord of […]

Before I forget, I thought I would refer everyone to this wonderful website of an artist and his art.
Ralph Goings is a realist painter who has exhibited in this country, Europe and Japan and is represented in museums and private collections here and abroad. He is recognized as one of the original members of the […]

There’s a rerun on Ellen with the interview of Wesley Autrey. When I wrote about this story last year, it was just one of those things that really caught my attention, for days on end… I think this is just one of the most amazing stories that happened last year, and I just couldn’t […]

I think one of the most influential individuals at current time is Bono. He has done and is doing so much for worthy causes all around the world. I was watching The NAACP Image Awards last night, and his acceptance speech was inspiring. The audience, filled with prominent Negro individuals, stood up […]

“How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people — first of all for those upon whose smiles and […]

It’s snowing heavily here in The Midwest, so I decided to cozy up on the couch with some friends and watch the Oprah Show. It’s a great show today because it’s all about some amazing love stories. There were five love stories and one that we already wrote about here at Six Degrees […]

In probably his most famous speech, Martin Luther King Jr. declares…
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

SANTA
For the past 26 years in Missouri, there has been a secret Santa roaming the streets each December giving away money to people who would never have known him, except until last November.

40’s & 50’s
I have a new appreciation for individuals who have reached their 40’s and 50’s, it seems they know more about themselves than any other generation today.

In an ideal world, ice cream would be good for us, and chocolate would be a miracle drug, my parent’s wouldn’t have been divorced, and my grandmother would never have had to die. In an ideal world, John Lennon would still be alive, singing to the the tune of “Imagine”, and the song would […]
