/ 18 Comments / Personal Life, Social Marketing

Last week, a friend wrote about what he perceived as his greatest physical flaw. A few months ago, his hair fell out. It just decided to jump scalp. There was no medical reason for it. And he’s been coming to grips with being bald. Truth is, he looks good. He was blessed with a nicely shaped head. When he meets someone new, they don’t know his hair history. They accept him as he is.

The Real Fear of Speaking Out

/ 5 Comments / news, Personal Life, Politics, Social Marketing

There was a hot minute last week when I thought the war in Gaza might be coming to an end.
