Like so many others, I’ve suffered from intense heel pain for many years.

Mine started way back in my Army days when I would have to shift my weight to the sides of my feet while standing in formation because the pain in both heels was so very intense.

“Making one person smile can change the world – maybe not the whole world, but their world.”  –John Spence

Based on my own life experiences, I believe one of the most powerful tools we have for building a happy life is helping others make their own lives a little better.

It’s certainly true that a person can live their entire life being concerned about no one but himself or herself, and plenty of people do. And just by looking in from the outside, most of those people don’t seem to be all that happy.  [Read more…]

If you have a vehicle what was manufactured in the last few years it might well have front and rear dash cams. If your vehicle doesn’t have them, you’ll probably want to change that after watching the short video below.

There are several reasons why it pays to have cameras documenting everything that takes place around your vehicle while you’re driving, but the man in the video would have literally been branded a felon and gone to jail if he hadn’t had them in his car.  [Read more…]
