New Year’s Eve Ball Drop | What does it mean?
After only a modest night on the town to celebrate the New Year, I ended up home on the couch sharing in the countdown to midnight with millions of people across the country as ‘the ball dropped’ over Times Square in New York City.

Another Thanksgiving Holiday is upon us here in the US. Put aside the parades, football games, and getting fat in front of the boob tube, and we just might re-discover the roots of this indulgent holiday, and begin to understand that we may need to give thanks in a much, much bigger way for Mother…
