My new personal vision statement.

Hmmm. OK, so I go to the daily dredge blog and lo and behold. Much to my surprise I see that it is pink. Let me say that this was not my doing.....neither is the cute heart in the corner. We will see if that will change or not. More than likely it will stay as is, I am not good with coordinating colors and such. Peridically I may change it to something more "man-friendly"...we'll see.


Anyhow, on to what I currently have on my mind.

Recently I read a statement from a company that goes by the philosophy of "Committed to loving, giving and caring". This year I am going to try to live by this.


Committed to loving. Not just loving our significant other, but loving all of those that come into our lives. Do I show I love others by my deeds and actions? I need to work on it.


Commited to giving. Giving does not have to be in monetary or something tangible. A pat on the back for a co-worker, a complement for a nice outfit or something as simple as a smile flashed to a stranger might be just what the recipient needs to make their day. Are we in the habit of saying thanks and please to those we interact with on a daily basis? I try to, but I falter.



Committed to caring. Caring for those less fortunate than us, caring for a cause, caring for a stranger in need. Do we tune out people that come to us with their life problems? I've been known to. Hopefully I can learn to be more caring and show more empathy in the future.

I hope to better myself this year, and I hope we humans can do so. Especially that asshole at the park that nearly ran me over cause he was in such a rush.

And here it comes my turn

My name is Dessi and I will try to be the co-writer on this blog. I love to write and share thoughts and different passion with friends. It is times when I can sit and write about things and times I can't say a word...with two words, tonight I am more on the silent side. Just watching TV, snuggling next to Brett and picking from time to time on his laptop, during his passionate poker play.

Hope that all of you(if any) who reads this have a Wonderful Evening!

Greetings and Hello




First of all we want to welcome all our readers to this blog. Myself and my fiancee Dessi are hoping to make daily posts at this site. I will start with my reasoning behind wanting to have a blog and Dessi will follow with her sentiments.

My name is Brett. Many times in the past I have desired an outlet for random thoughts and ramblings so here it is. The purpose of the blog is multi-fold, at least for me. First and foremost is a way to simply journal what interests me and to release pent up energy. Second is to bring to my friends interesting news articles and commentary on current and past events. Lastly is not really defined. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow evening I expand on this. I will let Dessi type a bit now.
