The value of a book does not come from the shouts of an adventure, but rather from the whispers of its message. This past month I was pleased to read ‘Stoner’ by John Williams that perfectly embodies this sentiment. The novel was published in 1965, a time of civil unrest when much of the population was going through changes and…

I have always been fascinated with what people do on a daily basis.

It came to my attention about a week ago of this term called “Iphone face”. About a couple days ago, I made the silliest mistake of going around asking every person I knew if I had the infamous “Iphone face” I was hearing about online. As they stared back at me with sheer confusion, I…

Often enough, we find ourselves bumping heads with coworkers, believing that we are just too different or passing by someone every day who deserves a chance to be spoken to. Our differences of age, color, status, and character bring complexity to understanding and working together. But that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. Texas…
