Writing Inspirational Stories About Everyday People
By Del Duduit When I was younger, I loved to watch college basketball almost as much as the National Basketball Association. Back then in the NBA, players let their talents do the talking. I was an admirer of Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics. The Legend was my first big interview when I was a… Continue reading Don’t Throw That Chair
By Del Duduit February is always bittersweet. Six years ago this month, our family suffered a gigantic loss when my sister-in-law died of cancer at the young age of 46.

By Del Duduit Ten years ago, my professional life was up in the air. I was laid off from a position and had to be like a scavenger to find a job. But that did not change who I was as a person. Even though I felt dejected, I was still me. Ten years ago,… Continue reading 10 Years Ago – The Journey Started
By Del Duduit Over the next few weeks and blogs, I will switch gears and discuss overcoming obstacles. We all have experienced them, some bigger than others.
