The older you get, the wiser you are. The trouble is, youβve got less time to implement that wisdom.
Words I’ve said to myself and out loud multiple times over the past few weeks. I’m not exactly sure why, but I tend to be incredibly optimistic with a since of mortality and giving back at all times.

At the close of our Election Results Show Tuesday night, I admonished the residents of the City of Kinston for not voting. Like it or not you may complain about the road conditions, wasteful spending, crime rates, property transfers, etc., but I don’t have to listen to you if you don’t care enough to vote.

Now is not the time to complain. Now is not the time to critique. Instead, if you feel led to run or compelled to serve your community greater than your role today, here is your opportunity to influence or shape the change you desire.
