Time marches on. July ends today and August commences tomorrow. Summer is passing us by, as is time itself. And yet, you will now expose yourself so some important food for thought, wisdom to embrace, knowledge to add to your intellect. . . Let’s see what awaits you.

All of us are unique in some way. Yet we don’t often accentuate our uniqueness. One way to approach that endeavor is to think in terms of personal branding. The Self-Development column spells it out.

The Elephant in the Room column usually is used to shine a light on troubling conditions that erode Western Civilization. This issue is no different. I use this column to present a plethora of examples of Leftist shenanigans that took place in the month of July.

The From Ara’s Journal column discusses an important topic – the topic of friendship. See if my thoughts are something you resonate with.

Being able to express yourself elegantly and with precision is a wonderful thing. And The World of Words column contributes mightily in that effort. Embrace the word therein and utilize it so it is a regular part of your speech.

OK, let’s get started.
