The first thing I thought of, when I read this fortune was John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address and his quote, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” It sounded similar to it, so...

In this day of age, our technology fits in the palms of our hands. We look at the newest released iPhone and marvel at its size compared to the first mobile telephones in the 1940’s. [1] The computer components alone are almost microscopic compared to the room-sized...

I will apologize now for missing a week of FCF. My life has gotten somewhat complicated with my children’s school activities and the seasonal requirements. AKA, I’m a busy mom. I want to continue with my Fortune Cookie Friday post each week, but I may have...

I have been so busy lately, that I actually forgot it was the end of the week, resulting in me almost forgetting to post my next addition of FCF. With the stories in the news these days, I find this one quite apropos. I don’t want to start a huge race relations...
