"Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better." – Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer This quote gets right to the heart of something simple but powerful: when you know the difference between right and wrong, you’ve got no excuse for making the wrong choice. It’s one thing if you truly don’t know better—but once you do, you’re responsible for your actions.Mark Twain had a way of saying things plain and true. He’s reminding us that doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest path, but it’s the one that matters—especially when you have the wisdom and life experience to know better.It’s a good little gut-check—a reminder that character shows up in our choices, not just in what we say we believe.In real est... 03/10/2025

Always Do What Is Right: Standing Up for Moral Obligations Through Ethical Principles Introduction As I reflect on my life's journey, it's clear that certain individuals have profoundly shaped who I am today. My father was one of those influential figures. He taught me the importance of always doing what is right and always standing up for what is right. Alongside this, he imparted the values necessary to uphold these principles. Shaping Values Values are typically formed by those closest to us—especially our family members. These values become the foundation of our moral obligations. Choosing to do what is right can often be challenging, particularly when such choices deviate from popular opinion. Yet, possessing a strong support system can make all the difference in those moments. Par... 03/10/2025

The inception of any want or need starts in your mind & self & from there, legs are added for the fetch items while others remain close at hand. The point is that we can have & do just about anything & nothing can stop this system except a little-known dynamic called YOU. That's right. If you complicate anything, then it becomes harder to do or have. Remove the seriousness of it & it becomes E-Z-P-Z nice & breezyLET'S NOT OVER or UNDER STATEIn everyday parlance: make a big deal out of it or make a federal case out of it either. The getting, receiving, sharing & having systems work for you despite YOU being an obstacle to their progress & results.

Lessons from My Grandmother: Wisdom, Love, and the Power of a DimeSpending summers with my grandmother was one of the greatest blessings of my life. At just 4’10”, she was a force to be reckoned with—fluent in five languages, sharp as a tack and filled with wisdom that had been passed down through more than one generations Standing at my tallest 5’13” (yes, you read that right!), we were like Mutt and Jeff - an amusing contrast in stature but, perfectly matched in spirit.She had a saying for everything, many of which were popular in her younger years but, remained relevant when she passed them down to me decades later. One of her favorites was, “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” She believed that challenges were meant to strengthen us, not break us - and she made sure I underst... 03/09/2025

I’ve been reflecting lately on the people who have shaped who I am today—and one of them was a teacher who made a lasting impression during my high school years. After reading Carol Williams beautiful tribute to a teacher who left a legacy in her life, I was reminded of my own experience in a classroom that sparked something deeper in me.It was junior year of high school, and I was lucky enough to land a spot in Mr. Rainey’s American History class. Back then, we never called our teachers by their first names—and if we ever happened to see them outside of school, it felt almost shocking, like they existed only within the classroom walls. Mr. Rainey wasn’t flashy or particularly outgoing, but he had an undeniable passion for history—and a way of making it come alive. He didn’t just teach ... 03/11/2025

For this series of weekly posts throughout March, it makes sense that I start with “my parents” who partnered in their relationship.  Each had their role in the family unit. I am grateful for everything my parents taught me and everything I learned from them. My Parents: Dad was the provider. He went to work daily to support his wife and six (6) children. I am the youngest of the six. Love: Mom was what is affectionately referred to as a “stay-at-home mom”. Mom did the shopping, cooking, and cleaning. When I was in sixth grade, my mom started working an assembly job commuting to work with a neighbor. That was short-lived following a near-fatal car crash. This is when the cooking and cleaning transferred to the “girls” who were assigned daily chores that rotated weekly.   Respect: When w... 03/09/2025

  Love Letter written by the owners of1805 By Woods 21153MLS# MDBC2111702   "In 2000, I was scanning the “for sale” house listings, looking for what was proving to be impossible. I wanted a house that both my husband and I could fall in love with. We’d been living in a traditional brick home for the last 17 years and I craved a light and airy contemporary that was nestled in the woods. A place to watch the seasons change, the birds, deer and squirrels, a place to breathe deeply and provide respite when we weren’t rushing from work to after school activities for the kids. My husband was looking for room to spread out; a place where he could store all of his cars and bicycles and work on them when time allowed.''''We both needed home office space. I needed a kitchen that would be the hear... 03/10/2025

Tomorrow is Daylight Savings Time, so it's time to Spring Forward and lose an hour of sleep!  I don't know about everyone else, but as much as I like getting an extra hour of daylight, and moving closer to Spring, I hate losing an hour's sleep.  However, losing an hour's sleep in exchange for getting an extra hour of day light and moving closer to Spring makes it a little more acceptable since I have Spring Fever.This is also a good time to change the batteries in you smoke detectors, and anything else that requires batteries in your house.  Changing the batteries in the smoke detectors only takes a minute, and can make a life difference in case of a fire.So don't forget tomorrow is Daylight Savings Time.  That means it's time to Spring Forward and one day closer to Spring and warmer we... 03/08/2025

Life, so miraculous & rewarding, full of mystery & built-in adventures cannot be explained but enjoyed. Not just to exist but live it out as we are created perfectly to do just that. As we live it, we develop character, virtues, lessons, education & correction, & experience transforming us into something more than the start-up. If done correctly, you should be a better person than what you were yesterday LIFE CAN BE SUBTLEIt is actually very well done. Consider how we go from our childhood to our teens, then to our youthfulness onto being a young adult, then to our 20's, 30,s & so on. You don't notice while it is taking place, but if you pause & assess/observe, it did & is doing just that. The system is amazing. Our part equally so tooLIFE CAN BE BOISTEROUSWe can escape our comfort zone... 03/11/2025

🔥 Who *Didn't* Shape Us Growing Up? 🤘 Let’s be real...we weren’t just raised by parents, teachers, or mentors. We were raised by power chords, wailing guitar solos, and the kind of anthems that still give you goosebumps. From the moment the needle hit the vinyl, we were molded by rock and roll’s wild energy. Silent Generation and Baby Boomers might have taught us discipline, but we had our own teachers.. the ones screaming from the radio, shredding on MTV, and tearing up stadiums. 🎶 The Soundtrack of Our Lives 💃Women Who Rocked the World 🎶 🎤 Madonna made reinvention an **art form**. Whether it was "Like a Prayer" or "Material Girl," she **owned the stage** and never apologized for being exactly who she was. 💃 🔥 Tina Turner proved that **no one defines you except YOU**.

ActiveRain friends, I just discovered this valuable post by Peter Kici EA, a relatively new member of our community. Please review his post and the information he shares on income tax non-filers. It may help someone you know. If you're a non-filer, understanding how the IRS uses wage and earning reports, like W-2s and 1099s, to track your income could keep you out of hot water and or possibly jail . These reports come from your employer and financial institutions, helping the IRS verify the information you may or may not provide in your returns. Ignoring these IRS reports can lead to hefty penalties and fines even a potential audits if discrepancies arise. Plus, you could miss out on refunds or credits you might be entitled to.

In a significant move benefiting American consumers, the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—have made free weekly credit reports a permanent offering through AnnualCreditReport.com. Initially introduced as a temporary response to the financial uncertainty of COVID-19, the policy has now been extended indefinitely, giving consumers unprecedented access to their credit data.“This is a game-changer for anyone looking to protect their credit and financial future,” said William E. Lewis Jr., a nationally recognized credit repair expert and founder of William E. Lewis Jr. & Associates, a credit repair firm based in Vero Beach, Florida. “With identity theft, reporting errors, and fraud on the rise, monitoring your credit report weekly is no longer just a good idea—it’... 03/08/2025

If one takes a moment to reflect on anyone who entered into our lives for the better, they would discover a type of gifting or treasure that came to us & even more mysteriously, without the asking. Consider: how would we know what to ask for if we don't know who we are or what we need? Where to begin? One thing that stands out for me is my first real job & the old man who hired me START-UPMy parents were not nurturers or supporters that would help a child define themselves or their destiny. I thank them for their contribution as they gave all they had to their children. Now for those children to give all they have to themselvesTHE BECKONINGNewly married at 21, no clue what to do or where to go until one day, I answered an ad that said: Partnership without investment.
