Christmas Cheer and Why It’s Always Up To You

It's that time of the year again when, depending where you stand, you feel either part of an incredible sense of magic and goodwill or terribly alone. Both of these feelings are conscious decisions we make and each requires our full participation in order to occur.

What Kelly Ayotte and Sarah Palin have to teach us about hope

Before anyone reading this article hastens to jump into conclusions I need to stress that when I do write about politics it is always to highlight developmental behavior trends rather than comment on the validity of individual parties and their platforms and this is so with this case.
