Life Is Too Short To Carry The Burden Of A Heavy Heart. It Does Not Serve You Or Anyone Else. Free Yourself Through The Power Of Forgiveness And Compassion.

Since The Donald Trump Election, Which Has Involved This Administration Making Direct Attacks On Press Freedoms, You're Actually Seeing A Certain Amount Of Rallying And Reinvigoration By The National Press In Terms Of Covering National Issues And The Presidency.

In Baltimore They Can't Do Police Work To Save Their Lives. Now Because Of Freddie Gray They're Not Even Getting Out Of The Car And Policing Corners - They're On A Job Slowdown, Basically.
