A Poetic Reflection on The New Year by Sharon L DuBois

#HappyNewYear #NewBeginnings #SharonDubois #2025

How many times has one year flown by, without my humble, wide-eyed

Amazement at the awesome wonders and blessings contained within? Is it

Possible that I have forgotten about the seemingly small, occasionally overlooked, daily miracles??

Peeking a blind eye around a blind corner to the approaching tomorrow, neglecting the precious gift of all

Yesterdays. Reminder to self: Express genuine thankfulness for my family, friends, my job, which provides harvest-yielding seed, & All Praises to My Heavenly Father, whose Grace abounds brand spankin’

New every morning, as evidenced by my health, life, and strength. With each drop of rain, and rising of the sun, I am made aware of the

Ever-present opportunity to do a “new thing”, a “new way”, with a “renewed mind”!! No logical reason to

Whine or complain about difficulties along the journey, “JUST DO IT!!” The sum total of each and every one of my

Yesterdays equals who I am today, and a new year sings of joyful additions to that

Equation. Dear one, my wish for you, is not just a Happy New Year, but

An amazing, awe-inspiring, ambidextrous (yep, blessings filling BOTH hands!) LIFE!!! ALWAYS:

Remember how much I admire, cherish and love you!!!

Grindr turns 10: How a decade with GPS 'dating' apps changed us all

#Grindr #JoelSimkhai #LGBTQ #App What Uber did for cars, so Grindr did for hooking up. A decade after its release, NBC Out reflects on the impact Grindr has had on the gay and bi community. On the day he launched Grindr — exactly 10 years ago this Monday — founder Joel Simkhai said the only phone call he received was from the competitor, Manhunt, with a buyout offer of “$20,000 or $35,000.” Simkhai declined. But after actor and comedian Stephen Fry demoed Grindr live on the British TV show “Top Gear” a few months later in June 2009, everything changed. Simkhai said there were 10,000 downloads overnight and it “felt like every gay man knew about it.” “It’s basically a gay cruising application,” Fry told “Top Gear” host James May. “Get this, when you load it,” Fry said, “up appear all kinds of faces and pictures. And what’s so amusing is, you press them and it goes like, ‘Hi, I’m Mike,’ and it tells you how close they are — it says 20 yards away.” Now, a...
