  Tweet There are few times when you go back and everything is exactly the same. Visit your old grade school, and the teachers are no longer (as) scary, the water fountains are way too low, and forget using the toilets. Even the walls are a more cheerful color.

  Tweet There are advertisements asking for your time and money all over the place: in the newspapers, on television. After a while, you just shut down. As an example, on Facebook I belong to 168 groups- some of them business-oriented, but many of a giving nature. The other day, I saw a post from my [...]
