During my first three blogs, I wrote about how we can fix our politics and governing in America and

create win-win situations to expand the economic pie to provide equity, opportunity and justice to many

more Americans. The other two essays are about my thoughts and feelings related to psychology and

spirituality. My thinking was initially shaped in the home I was raised in. So therefore, I hope to go

further than my previous blogs and talk about my upbringing and the values which I still carry with me.

My values reflect my evolving thoughts and feelings throughout my adult life as I am now in my late

middle age.
