A Promise Unkept (and more...)

I attempted to think back and remember the essence of each experience last year and for the life of me, I can't put it together the way I would have when it was recent. So, I choose not to even go there. I choose not to serve left over thoughts and cold memories when fresh, new ideas are needed. Does last thanksgiving really matter right now? Not really. What about Black Friday or Christmas, interested? Not so much. So this is a promise unkept; please forgive me.

You have to give me credit...I did post something! (Just kidding!)

For some reason, I am considered in my circle as the "community guy." Sure, I do volunteer and I am a mentor but I'm not out serving and working nearly enough to be honored with that title. Their extreme exagerration got me to thinking. I do my share to give back but there are others out there doing this tireless work more than I could even fathom. My experiences in the community might be worth sharing. I will maintain a community calendar of activites I'm involved in and post updates and photos of those experiences. I hope to highlight individuals I encounter and their organizations. In doing so, I would not only volunteer my time, but acknowledge them for their courage, kindness, generosity and selflessness.

Detroit is a tough town, full of rugged and ragged realities, especially in these times. But these heroes help smooth out the sores of this city. I'm excited to share this side of my life with you. If you have any experiences, people and places to share, join in as I celebrate the our unsung heroes and happenings.

Back Again

Wow,

How long has it been, Decemeber 1? Well, what can I say, I dropped the ball. To those that have entered "Turtle Mode" with me and have read and commented on a few of my thoughts, thank you. And forgive my negligence. I will be back in some form this year with more consistency.

I promised a few things in my last blog: An update on the wonderful thanksgiving holiday, my Black Friday fun, and an update on my quest for "the Rules" and more.

I will make good on those promises and keep it moving with an update on my Christmas/New Years/Valentines Day. It's been quite a ride. Yeah, all that on Satruday.

Promise.
