A man fixing a towel hanger in a bathroom

The Fixer Fixing

Am not fixing anyone. I cannot fix anybody. Everyone knows how to fix themselves. Everyone can fix themselves when they want , not when we speak. Fixing is a personal choice. Don’t pressure anyone to fix themself. Fix yourself first. What do you need fixing with? We need a lot of time to fix everything. […]

Rich and Poor

Who are the rich and poor? I am up at the highest floor of my condominium.  We use the air conditioner to cool the heat. I can chill with Netflix at a finger snap. I happily take naps on the comfy sofa.  Just 2 steps down my gate.  I see them with bare chests and

school

The life school

The school of life is for everyone. We all wear uniforms every day. Some silently fail and hide the results. Others broadcast their failures and successes.  Some condemn and focus on others’ failures. Others choose to celebrate all seasons.  Some support only during successes. Others pretend to support only if they can control. Some just
