If you’ve ever been faced with living long distance from your spouse or significant other, you know it’s a tough decision. Five years ago, I was faced with that very reality. In this post I share my top five ways for you to get make living long-distance work!
Your gifts, your talents, time, expertise, network, years of experience have value. It would be great to offer everything for free, but the world doesn’t operate like that, and neither should we. As long as we don’t assign a value to our work or services, no one else will.

We didn’t consistently agree on how to tell the story, but in the end, we did.
This brief story captures the daily plight of minority males, specifically black males.
More and more we hear why TV is a dying breed and everything we watch, will soon be online. That’s true. There will need to be an online presence for just about everything that happens on TV, or in our modern world, or…it’s like it didn’t happen.
