July 13th, 2021 By Ron Signore These past few weeks have gone by so quick; it is hard to reflect accurately on time. I was noticeably absent these past 10 or so days and frankly, it doesn’t even feel like I completely blinked. There have been a couple events, one more major than the other, going on over the past couple of weeks. First, our family took advantage of the low interest housing market back on Mother’s Day. As we resided in Ohio, it was becoming abundantly clear our children were getting the right advantages for opportunities in life, but one major aspect of their lives was mi...

I remembered a friend from Twitter who has been working with me on an article she wants to write about race sent me a link to something she wrote in her blog. It was titled the cost of a broken heart. She described the many times of being married and divorced that had left her broken still to this day. On came the waterworks.
