Writing Inspirational Stories About Everyday People
By Del Duduit We just set foot on the slippery slope. The liberal Democrat-led state senate in Maine voted to legalize assisted suicide last week, and the governor, also a Democrat, is deciding whether to sign it into law. Maine Gov. Janet Mills has 10 days to sign the bill, which would permit doctors to… Continue reading What “Right to Die?”
By Del Duduit In many of my blog posts, I tend to tell stories about professional athletes or sporting events and incorporate an inspirational message. I don’t always do this, but if you have read my pieces, a majority of them are related to sports. Throughout my Twitter posts, you will find encouraging quotes from… Continue reading Total Teamwork in NYC
By Del Duduit Have you ever been blindsided by something that was not your fault? Perhaps you are zinging through life at a breakneck speed, and the trophy is in sight.

By Del Duduit This past weekend, Angie and I were in Pittsburgh for a special event. I was joined by Clint Hurdle, the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, on Saturday at the Barnes and Noble at the Waterfront in Homestead, PA, just a few miles from the Steel City. Together, we autographed my book, Dugout… Continue reading “It’s a New Day”

My friend, Steve Free, faced all of these questions throughout his wonderful musical career and has some pretty solid answers. The Northwest High School… Continue reading What is Your Genre?
By Del Duduit Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I get stunned all over again. Ignorant and radical leftists are taking down historical statues all over the country because they do not appreciate the significance of the times. Blathering idiots want the names of American iconic stars like John Wayne removed from airports… Continue reading Kate’s God Bless America
By Del Duduit This past weekend, I was the recipient of a generous act of kindness. And so was an entire high school baseball team. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a local resident of the community who asked if I would consider speaking to the Minford High School baseball team about my… Continue reading An Act of Anonymous Kindness
Well, it finally happened -- writer's block. After three years of weekly posts I came up dry this week.
