  • Make Sure Your Wedding Fits You

    Pre the swinging ’60s, when your grandparents were young adults, the idea of living together before marriage was socially unacceptable. While some couples dared to try it, they dared not do so openly – for the judgment of society could be cruel. Gay couples also were in jeopardy of social condemnation. In 2014, however, living…

  • Marking time is not the ideal (by a long shot)

    What does a run-of-the-mill blogger write about having three successive flights cancelled and ending up stranded 1500 miles from home? Probably nothing new except for a few unique experiences attributable to our whims. To wit, we visited the Textile Center in Minneapolis. In this high-tech digital age, it is refreshing to see what artists can…

  • A Deadly Habit

    We know we shouldn’t text and drive…but our phones are programming us to do just that. The next time I contact you by cell phone from my vehicle it will be only after I pull over and put the car into park. So if you don’t hear back from me quickly enough, practice your patience…

  • A Daily Ray of Hope: Holding on and letting go at the same time

    Originally posted on Indian River Guardian: Panzer Editor’s Note:  When I began publishing InsideVero.com in late January, it was my custom each morning to offer as a “daily ray of hope” an inspirational quote for the day. Along with each quote, I shared an image of a landscape, seascape, sunrise, or of some wildlife.  One…

  • Look back in wonder at your journey

    In Alcoholics Anonymous meetings each person introduces themselves with their first name followed by “..and I am an alcoholic”. This is an essential identification since it embodies the First Step, “We admitted that we were powerless over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable”. Moreover, ‘alcoholic’ defines the person as nothing else can do…

  • #SGSGlobal An essential hashtag

    Social Good Summit? (#SGSGlobal) Sounds a bit ominous but, in fact, so simple, down to earth, and real. The question underlying this event is “Can social media really make a difference in change for the good?” It can indeed but only if we don’t forget that behind the technology are people. On the other hand,…

  • Simple But Not Easy

    In the days before our present high tech means of transportation, whistle stops were how US Presidential candidates reached the potential voters. One of the famous news photos was of  Harry S. Truman holding up a copy of the Chicago Tribune with a banner headline stating “Dewey Defeats Truman” and was taken on the rear platform of a…

  • Caring is not that complicated

    “I miss you, my kind and gentle brother. Peace be with you. Micah 6:8” These few words popped up on my Facebook wall one day last week and gave me pause. They came from a somewhat unexpected source, a colleague that I was just beginning to know when I left our mutual workplace. We had…
