Saturday morning I woke up to my friend Rosa saying, “I have some not so good news. Someone broke in your car.” My first thought was, “Seriously? What could they possibly want in there?” My second thought was, “Oh crap (well, maybe it was another word). My computer.” I’d like to think that I’m a […]
Good Day! Welcome to a new Thursday edition on Thankful FaM. Depending on the response we get from this, it will either become a regular Monday event or it will go to the archives where all one-offs go. Today is a day to Walk on the Bright Side. I have a special guest contributor, friend and […]
Holiday Time! I know what you’re thinking- I’m a few weeks early. However, there were a slew of holidays this weekend: Yom Kippur, Canadian Thanksgiving and Columbus Day.

I totally agree with her. My hope is that everything posted on Thankful For a Million will be, in some way, […]

In case you weren’t aware, Maathai was the first ever African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She founded the Green Belt Movement which focused on sustainable development in poor regions of Kenya. More […]
The other day I was hanging out with some friends and we decided to make a rap. One friend beat boxed while the rest of us each dropped a verse (it’s dropped right?). I even threw in a hook I made up… lucky for you guys, we recorded it! So maybe one day I will […]
