Man with lamp walking illuminating his path

Let’s start the morning by turning on a light – the light within your heart, the light within your soul. However, if you’re feeling a bit down today, then let me show you the many ways to relight that fire within you.

At times it may seem difficult or even impossible, however, we are often the culprits, our own worst enemies, because we’ve allowed the national news, politicians, social media, etc., into our daily lives, into our homes. However, you don’t have to let the naysayers win, because you still have control over your life, and not vice-versa. Remember, the sun still rises each day, it’s just that sometimes it’s obscured by clouds.

For the vast majority of my life, I was part of a culture that vigorously attempted to throw off the shackles of nomenclature. We wanted to be defined as human beings, who stressed their commonalities, instead of pointing to our differences. But it seems the tables have turned. Watch the news or a talk show, read the newspaper, or scroll through your favorite social media page, and you’ll see what I mean. We are no longer human beings but are strictly defined by a particular sub-group.

When did we become so segregated?
