Clayton Neville, 5-25-2017; Back to the Big City

As a Dallas native I found myself lost looking up to a skyline of stars set behind towering pine trees when I moved to East Texas six years ago. In pursuit of a career in news and sports broadcasting, my wife of less than a year and I watched Reunion Tower fade from the rear view mirror as we…MORE

Nicole Osei, 5/16/2017; The Importance of Being “Outdoorsy”

I know that the title of this blog will illicit eye rolls from some but I try and spread good energy whenever and wherever I can. I really do think that there is something healing about being in nature and I am always encouraging people to get off the couch and go outside. I can…MORE

Eric Bushman, 4-25-17; Look Up From Your Phone

Nicole Osei, 4/12/2017; An Ode to Milo

Yesterday was National Pet Day and I started thinking about how important my dog Milo is to me. My boyfriend and I adopted him almost ten years ago and our lives have never been the same. I remember when Stephen, who used to volunteer with Paws in the City in Dallas, asked me if he could…MORE

Dave Williams 2/18/2017: Fake news, alternative news and my dead dad
