Perhaps you’ve seen this phrase before: “One Race. Human Race. One Blood. Red Blood.” Or this phrase that shortens it further: “One Race.

“Gratitude.” That’s my word of the year. When I find myself in a foul mood, I remember “gratitude,” and my mood shifts to something positive. When I see and consider the blessings that I have in my life, I think of “gratitude,” and I know that I’m safe wherever I am. I am provided for. I am freedom. I am

New Year’s resolutions are well known for not working out. How many don’t work out? At least 4 out of 5. And the ones that fail typically don’t make it as far as the end of January. Even with the odds against you to this extent, people still set new year’s resolutions anyway. Setting those
