Kudos once again to SHJ reporter Bob Dalton for another great piece shedding light on Howard Rich. Listen SC. Someone is trying to tell you something. Don't you think it is important for each of us to know WHO is influencing the way we live in SC and what THEY have planned for OUR future? Not only do [...]

Are y’all familiar with the This I Believe series on NPR? It’s where, no surprise here, people talk about what they believe in. I’ve been doing a lot thinking this past week on who I am, where my passion lies, what I stand for and if I am wrong or right for choosing to do [...]

Take 8 1/2 minutes and listen to what he says. It's good stuff. Share it with your friends and family. If we would step back [...]
