Racism still Affects so many on a Daily Basis- This is my Plea: Please be a part of the solution, not the problem

Feb 3, 2015
My husband and I are both white. We have three biological children and adopted a beautiful little girl -- she is African American and we are a transracial family. All of us have experienced second looks and some very direct inquiries from time to time; some of which are completely inappropriate and no one’s business, I might add, and some…[...]

Sharing the Road with Big Trucks: How Safe are our Highways?

Feb 2, 2015
While I have never been a fan of sharing the highways with large trucks, recent experiences have left me terrified. Is it me or our roads becoming even more dangerous?  My most recent experience was driving to Columbus on Interstate 70 to attend a 4-year-old’s birthday party.  It was a rainy, foggy, gray day and the spray from the cars…[...]

On the Comeback Trail

The Baseball Hall of Fame and Steroids

Jan 29, 2015
Congratulations to Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, and Craig Biggio on their election to the Baseball Hall of Fame earlier this month. All four are well-deserving of the honor, but Martinez deserves special mention in my mind.  The Pedro Martinez of 1999 was like nothing else I’d ever seen.  Twenty-three wins against only 4 losses, an ERA of 2.07,…[...]

Please Bring Your Outside Pets in. (Barley and Guinness are begging you to do this.)

Jan 27, 2015
It’s that time of year again. Old Man Winter has turned on the sub-zero temperatures and everything outside is freezing. You’ve seen on social media sites and on TV that it is recommended you bring in your pets at  night. Well, we also need to keep them inside during the day, too.  Freezing temperatures don’t only happen after dark. Let…[...]

Distracted Driving

Jan 22, 2015
Distracted driving is not illegal in all states, but it is deadly in every state.  I thought I would begin with that HUGE statement.  Don’t be a statistic.  Distracted driving and texting related accidents are on the rise. Texting on your cell phone and now talking as well while driving, without a hands free device, is ILLEGAL in West Virginia.…[...]

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Jan 21, 2015
I think we often forget how much we are watched by our children and grandchildren. At a very young age, they watch us and mimic us.  That is how they learn about the world and about how to treat others.  Children build their worlds around those that are close to them.  They admire and want to be just like mommy…[...]

Change is good

Jan 20, 2015
According to an old saying, the only thing permanent is change. I have experienced a lot of change - particularly in my office space - in the time I have worked for Bordas & Bordas, and I couldn't be more grateful for all the opportunities I've had to work in several of our locations. When I was first hired, I…[...]
