So we are six days into a new month, seems like just yesterday was New Years. February is a short month, 28 days, but it packs a punch. What's so special about February? Well, today is Super Bowl Sunday, for American football fans it's a very big day! This year we have the Pittsburgh Steelers competing against the Green Bay Packers. The commercials are supposed to be bigger and better than years past, everyone looks forward to the annual Super Bowl parties, who sings the national anthem and the pre-show and half-time performances.
More importantly this is "Black History Month", a time to reflect on the past in order to really appreciate the freedoms we have today. When I think about all the historic icons like Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Sojourner Truth and Jackie Robinson (just to name a few), I am proud of my people - where we came from and where we are today.
We also celebrate 2 major holidays Valentine's Day on the 14th and President's Day on the 21st, February is a busy month. (And for those of you that think tax season is also a holiday.....I am with you! Everyone who actually receives a return agrees.)
So in summary please take the time this month to learn about your past and enjoy your present!
