What is a life well lived?


One of our most beloved family members passed away a few weeks ago…  I would say that she lived a long and wonderful life – a life well lived.  I was gratified to see the attendance at her wake and funeral.  I’m not sure she was aware, towards the end of her life, how many lives she had touched in her lifetime.  I know she had a profound effect on my life.  Although I will miss her earthly presence, I feel she is in a better place where she is free from pain and discomfort.

What then is the take away from all this?  Live your life to the fullest.  Spend time with your loved ones.  Whenever possible, do good deeds for no reason at all expecting nothing in return.  Work hard and play even harder.  Find something to stand for or you will fall for anything.  Leave a lasting legacy.  And remember, the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting to get a different result.  Are you ready to make some changes in your life?

I agree totally with this philosophy of living life. I strive to achieve these goals, and hope that when I pass on people can truly say that I inspired them to do better.

What the Heck is "Dancing for Dollars?"

What is “Dancing for Dollars” you may ask? Well, rest assured it has NOTHING to do with stripper poles or any such thing. “Dancing for Dollars” is the effort of our new Executive Director, Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA, to bring in funds and bring awareness to Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. Mrs. Cooper has been known to “cut a rug” and then trip over it.  Mrs. Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA But she is willing to make a spectacle of herself to help children who are in need but can’t afford to pay for the services. Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. is a 501 (c ) (3) organization registered with the State of Florida as such. We were founded nearly 30 years ago by our former Executive Director, Ernestine Mosley. The mission of the tutoring center has always been the education of its enrolled students. They have striven to reach those students that may have been deemed “unreachable” by the system. The ones who were labeled as lacking in some necessary component to succeed in school. Mrs.
