Childhood

“Did you even have a childhood?!”

Yes… actually I did. A couple weeks have gone by before I can even give a good description of what it used to be.

I used to color. I used to spend hours coloring different pages with various characters and wonderful sceneries. They would be so happy and full of life once there was color in the character’s tummies and faces.

And I would run. I loved playing tag and never sat still always wanting to chase or be chased. So much excited all the time, especially when there where bicycles involved.

Every kid should have a childhood.

The World Deserves to Have Writers with a Passion and Readers with Curiosity

The NEWS industry is going down in flames. But not because of lack writers, editors, researchers or funding. It is because of lack of Curious READERS. Readers who care to take the time to understand and digest the world around. The real world. Not social media, not pop-culture, not Reality TV, not YOUR-30-Mile-Radius-World.   I leave you with a GREAT description of what true news is.

I started in this business because this is what I wanted to do. I knew I wasn’t going to write the Great American Novel, but I also knew there was more to life than buying something for a dollar and selling it for two.  I wanted to give the news to the world, and I wanted to give it unvarnished… Reporting the news is a privilege and a responsibility and it is not exploitable.

Write. Write everyday.

I have this rare but honorable privilege to be told personal stories from different people all over the world. They share these amazing stories. Some may be amazing because they are filled with joy and laughter; others because I can’t believe this sad story is real. Regardless, I am committing myself today to write one paragraph each day. One story written down in paper so that it may not be forgotten. So that great times could be shared and injustices not ignored. If you would like to share with me, I’m hear to listen.

What’s the end goal? To publish and leave a legacy. That each person never be forgotten.
