It's a practice born of our very species. Help each other. We would not survived as long on this planet without helping one another; considering the collective's well-being; lending a hand to those in need. Across cultures, across religions, across time, this practice has been at the core of human existence. I accept this behavior …

Jesuit Martyrs of El Salvador
Quoting James Martin, S.J., as we remember these brave men and women who were murdered 30 years ago this weekend, because they stood for social justice, social change for the people. "These men and women paid the ultimate price for standing with the poor and marginalized in the name of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. …
Is This What it Means to be White?
Two white journalists consider their journey, exploring the murder of a white minister by group of white men in the segregated deep south of Alabama, United States, in 1965. #gratitude @chipbrantley @andrewbeckgrace https://www.npr.org/about-npr/719940814/white-lies-nprs-civil-rights-cold-case-podcast-solves-who-what-killed-james-reeb one.npr.org/i/776399329:776566928
Thank You, Cokie
She passed on Tuesday at the age of 75. Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs. The story goes that her older, 3 year old brother couldn't pronounce "Corinne" when she came home from the hospital, he called her Cokie, and that was that.

NEVER SUICIDE! NEVER GIVE UP – EVER.
News of Chester Bennington's suicide has me slowly shaking my head in frustration. The Linkin Park frontman left the world far too early, taking his own life at age 41. "Another one gone", I can only think. His passing marks the latest of several public faces that have meant so much to so many through …

A Little Hungry? GOOD.

International Women’s Day 2016
It was probably destiny. I come from a family of two boys, me and my brother. Our mother was outnumbered. It was just mom and the three boys (dad included). So we heard from time to time, especially during our adolescent years, how we needed to respect women, and in particular mom. She wasn't about …
Good begets GOOD: Humaneity 2.0
As is evident from the majority of my writing, tweets, and the like, I'm a big believer in the power of the "Good Attitude." Everything starts from within the individual: an idea, a few words, an action, a situation that requires a response, something creates the spark. A good attitude provides the foundation for everything …
