Thank You For That Sharp Experience
Jim Ellis Legacy Magazine Editor Ah yes, every once in awhile, in life, we get that sharp experience, one that hurts us, harms us, wounds us, jabs us, perhaps stabs us right there in the back. We toss and turn in the toil and turmoil. It's a drag and a half. We can be...

That’s What We’re Here For!
Gary Wojciechowki MDI Contributor I’m thinking of the power of gratitude. It’s nice to be appreciated by others, but the power of gratitude really is empowering for one's own self. The more one can think of and truly be grateful for all one has, and all one doesn’t...
Gratitude From The Men
