Good morning! Well...it looks like Round Two of winter weather in the Carolinas is coming starting tonight into tomorrow morning. The results of the previous winter storm hasn't completely melted yet & here comes more snow. I can't wait for winter to end. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning! The biggest thing that everyone should remember when going through some tough times is that they don't last forever. While it may seem like forever to get through them, things will settle down. Just move forward & take it 1 day at a time. Have a tremendous Thursday!

Good morning! One thing I've learned as an adult is accepting the responsibility of my actions. If you're wrong & know it, you need to admit it. Not everyone is going to be forgiving & I accept that. When someone does give you that gift, cherish it. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning! There are times when you have to face the decisions that you make. Decisions, whether they are good or bad, have consequences. They can have short-term and/or long-term effects. Keep that in mind before you act. Have a terrific Tuesday!

A simple tip for those guys looking to make initial contact: read before you type. Read the ad and read the website. What a woman is looking for in that introductory email lies within those things. It shows that you paid attention & can follow instructions. Trust me. It helps.

Good morning! I didn't want to say something yesterday but now that the weather has passed, my area was very fortunate. There was not nearly as much snow & ice as there was predicted to be. Thankfully, the power has stayed on. I hope you are doing well. Have a marvelous Monday!

This might be the one photo that I wish you could see my face. Just know that I have perhaps the best smile I've ever had in a photo. It was a happy moment being at my first NHL game. Plus, it came after meeting a great, new friend the night before. I need more of this in 2026.

Good morning! The weather weekend that no one in the Carolinas wanted is here. Over the next 48 hours, an ice storm is expected to drop up to an inch of ice, which will cause power outages. I hope that everyone stays safe & avoids the roads. Have a spectacular Saturday!

Good morning! Even when you know something is coming, you don't know the impact it's going to make until it happens. It could be easier than you think it will be or it might be worse. Either way, preparation is always the key to getting through it. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning. For a friend: when someone passes away, they are only gone in body. You keep their spirit & memory alive by remembering the good times with them, how they laughed & the bond you shared. They are always with you as long as you do these things. Have a great day.

For any woman who is thinking about traveling to the Carolinas this weekend: change or cancel your plans. Winter Storm Armageddon is coming and most places don't know how to react to this weather. To my friend who decided to go to Clearwater FL this weekend: just know that I'm very, very jealous.

Good morning! It can be frustrating when the results doesn't match the effort. All of us work hard to achieve success. Failure shouldn't stop us from continuing to push forward. Just stay focused on the goal. You'll get to where you want to go. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning! I'm having a hard time describing just how great my first NHL game was. The crowd, the speed of the game & the Hurricanes winning made it so perfect. My Raleigh trip could not have gone any better. I'm looking forward to the next trip. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Good morning! What a day yesterday! I drove to Raleigh NC & ran into some pretty good snowfall along the way. Later that evening, I met a new friend for the first time. It was an amazing experience. Today, it's my first NHL game. Man, I feel good. Have a marvelous Monday!

Finding out a woman's favorite color is something I like to do before I see her, especially for a first-time meeting. The reason: wearing something with a color she likes leaves a good impression. It shows that you read her website and/or profile. Little things always matter.

Good morning! With as cold as it has been here lately, I had to post a photo from when I lived in North Carolina. It snowed several times during my 3 1/2 years there. I'm glad that I moved back to South Carolina where snow is a rare occurrence. Have a spectacular Saturday!

Good morning! A man from the south is not built for a day with a high temperature of 35°F & winds that make it feel like 23°F. That was yesterday. To those in the northeast & midwest who deal with this & worse conditions in winter: respect. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning! Yesterday, I was thinking, "Man, I'm glad I don't work for my previous employer today." But it turned out to be a double-edged sword...because I still had their service. You don't know how much you need something until it's not working. Have a tremendous Thursday!

Good morning! How do you measure the life that you are living? Is it by possessions & money? Is it by your friends & family? Is it by places you have been to & are going to? Just remember that you only have one life. Make the most of every day. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning! It's time for me to tell my story of why 2025 was the longest & hardest year of my adult life. While no one in my life died, I felt like the best part of me was dying & I was losing myself. 2026 will be my year of growth & success. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Good morning! Next Monday, I'll be doing what I want & going where I want to go. Before that happens, my story needs to be told about why last year was the longest of my adult life & why I am not looking back after telling it. Story time is tomorrow. Have a marvelous Monday!

Good morning! There's one thing I've learned about the most successful businesses: they appeal to everyone. Sure, they contribute to the causes they want to behind the scenes, but they do not alienate their customer base. That leads to long-term success. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning! There are things you see sometimes & you ask yourself, "Did I really just see that?" I did not have seeing a paraglider on my bingo card yesterday, but here's the evidence. It looks like fun, but my fear of heights won't let me do it. Have a tremendous Thursday!

Good morning! It's been a mild winter so far in South Carolina & I'm not going to complain about it. Today, the high temperature is supposed to be 72°F. The only thing I'm missing is a beach & a warm breeze. I think Florida is calling my name. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
