Election Bliss

November 7, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Last night like most Americans I was glued to the TV. After dragging through the most expensive election campaign in the history of the United States, it was over. Barack Obama was re-elected President of the United States. Even in down economy, Obama still won victory. It was a close fight, however, and what amazes me is the huge division among Americans state by state. Look at this map below. Even in our own state, there is quite a split […]

Are we becoming complacent with freedom?

July 5, 2012 by thirdeyemom

With the passing of the Fourth of July and its aftermath of several posts depicting the essence and beauty of freedom, I realized that I have a lot that is burning in my soul surrounding the very nature and definition of the word freedom and the future that lies ahead. Two posts in particular struck a chord with me today, one by the island traveler and the other by Mirth and Motivation. Both posts were about the writer’s strong belief […]

This is the heart and soul of my blog and I will continue to write about traveling, culture and volunteering abroad as much as possible (especially with my upcoming departure to Morocco 4/14). However, another thing I really enjoy learning about and […]
