Bearded
Posted By : Fred Klein

I have had a beard since 2011 and on and off before then.   The most compelling reason therefor is the luxury of not having to shave each morning. In my curly haired case, shaving was probably more daunting than for others.   Call me lazy or practical, I'm one satisfied non shaver!

Grandpa Sol used to tell his eldest grandchild: “Stay calm and cool at all times.”  Not easy to follow as so many triggers to be anything but calm occur -- often daily. That said, I more than followed that advice yesterday.  No clock really existed on my time.  I knew I would pick up my daughter, visit mom and go to the mall with Shelly and there w

Fear

"The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."--Nelson Mandela   Is it really conquering fear that is brave? I believe we all experience fear. Fear has helped humans survive through the years. So being afraid is important. However, if fear drives you or prevents you from living life, then let's be brave.   In my
