Writing Inspirational Stories About Everyday People
By Del Duduit The last few weeks have been contentious to say the least.

I wrote an opinion piece for my local newspaper last week and received several hateful and rude comments… Continue reading What a ‘Night to Shine’
By Del Duduit A few months ago, Angie and I traveled to Seattle, Washington for a couple days before we met her family for a cruise through Alaska.

By Del Duduit Over the past few weeks, I have written about Christmas caroling, my favorite Holiday movies, and my list of cherished Christmas songs.

I… Continue reading Happy Anniversary Silent Night
By Del Duduit WARNING: Cheesy blog ahead: With Christmas Day next week, I wanted to write a post and stay within the Spirit of the Season.
