For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Fresh Start February
A fresh start is subjective. It will mean something different to each and every person reading this entry. Some will use it as a chance to shift some pounds, whilst others will see it as an opportunity to save money. For me, it is the opportunity to take a look at my writing, to analyse the last year, what has gone well and what has not.

How I Used A Customer Service Technique to Improve My Life. Top Story - February 2022.
The best boss I ever had was a maestro at dealing with unhappy people. This was in a restaurant setting, and if you’ve worked in hospitality, you know it’s a minefield of dealing with disgruntlement. This boss had a way of diffusing hostile situations, and it’s something I carried over to other jobs and into my personal life.

Mr. Officer
I'm a black man that grew up in an inner city. I'm also of a certain age. So, I've lived through a gauntlet of feelings towards you. I remember when you were everyone's hero. When everybody looked up to you. When every kid wanted to be you when they grew up. When you were a pillar of our communities. When you were loved and admired. When you were considered a hero by most.

orange
This is the colour of fall. It is the colour of a bountiful harvest; the colour of the sun as it dips behind the fields from which you gather your harvest, the sky above it still brilliant blue. It is the colour of transitions. Have you ever seen a sunset like this? The colours - so contrasting, so opposite - blended into a seamless gradient. They are perfect complements. You are unable to look everywhere at once, so instead you focus on the smouldering orb that finds the horizon line, dragging the last dredges of light along with it. Stars begin to twinkle dimly in the ink, but you are still warm.

An Open Letter to Librarians
Dear Librarians, Some people probably only know you as the person who hands them the book they just checked out, but others know the true you. We have personally been on the receiving end of the kindness you disperse and the impact you can make.
