Community Corner
This week, Community Corner is going to serve as a break from the political talk, hate, and negativity being thrown at us. Politics, step aside. It’s time to talk about happy things and bring some joy into our lives.
Everyone, meet Brinkley:

“Why does kindness seem revolutionary? When did we let hate get so ordinary?” If any song could best describe 2020 and how we should respond, it’s “Revolutionary” by Josh Wilson. Taking a look around, the cultural norm has settled into a routine of vehemently disagreeing with and attacking one...
“Fear only has the power we give it. Hope works the same way.” – Bob Goff
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we are quick to give fear power. Whether it’s by shutting ourselves off from loved ones out of fear we could give them a virus, condemning those who are hesitant to conform to mask...
It’s fall, y’all! Leaves are turning from green into vibrant, warm colors, the morning air is crisp, and pumpkin decorations are being brought out of storage to celebrate this autumn season. I know for many, fall is dreaded, because it means winter is on its way. I’ve previously shared that I...

These last days of August have been delivering hot, humid weather; an accurate definition of “the dog days of summer.” For many, the final weeks of summer are spent in denial that colder weather is coming. But for others, myself included, there is excitement when we step outside and feel the early...
With primaries behind us and the general election quickly approaching, I’m going to assume there are plenty of mixed feelings out there when thinking about November 3. Don’t worry, I’m not sharing my opinion on candidates or mail-in ballots this week. While it will be important to address our...
