Tuesdays With Ryz- Is This It?

Is this it?  Is this all life has to offer now?  Many of us have asked this as our world, both our own personal bubble and collective society, is shaken to its core.  While news media outlets, social media and outward signs of expressions from people of all opinions cloud our feeds and freedoms, we are left asking what will …

Tuesday’s with Ryz- Dream

As the nation celebrates the legacy and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this week, we are reminded how the impact and the efforts of one individual can inspire change.  While we may think Dr. King’s efforts were on a greater scale than any one of us could possibly deliver, his actions remind us that we are not just …
