Viva Las Vegas by Debbie Norrell

Have you ever heard anyone say, “I don’t go to Las Vegas because I don’t gamble.” I have heard that a lot when I tell people how much I enjoy this popular vacation spot. I have been to Las Vegas 8 times and as I am leaving, I am planning my next trip back. It is an amazing city with lots to see and lots to do and gambling is your choice, you do not have to gamble. On my last trip I went to the Mob Museum. The official name is the National Museum of Organized Crime & Law Enforcement. This is a very interesting place. https://thesoulpitt.com/main/viva-las-vegas-by-debbie-norrell/

Entrepreneurship is Not Easy by Debbie Norrell

I remember a time when people would ask me why I didn’t start my own business. I would tell them that having a business is very difficult, and I didn’t think I was cut out for it. Since the age of 15, I have always worked for someone else, and in a few cases, I have worked for small business owners. I always admired the fact that they called the shots by owning their own business. And often, I thought all business owners were rich; sometimes they were just making ends meet.

Adams County, PA, is unlike anywhere I have ever lived, and in a positive way. Yet more than a few friends ask: "Why are you there?" My reply: “Because I married Bob (who is white), and he was here.” Yet the reason why I have come to embrace this place I call home is even more profound: life was bringing me here.

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻? by Debbie Norrell

The reason for the question is, of course, our Vice President’s love of pantsuits. It is so rare that we see her in a dress or a skirt. I’m sure there is a reason for that. My guess is that the White House doesn’t want her attire to be a distraction. I’m so sure that if she wore dresses, skirts, and dusters, her attire, the cost of the attire, and who designed it would be at the top of the news each day.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗯𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗹

Fortunately, I have never worried about staying cool. When it is 90 degrees and over, I typically stay in the house. If I do have to go outside, it’s into an air-conditioned car and then into an air-conditioned building. Lately, I take a wrap or a sweater with me due to the restaurant or store that I am going to is actually chilly. Recently, I saw a post that indicated there are cooling centers open in the City of Pittsburgh. They are open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. and are located in Beechview, Homewood, Brighton Heights, Greenfield, Sheraden, and the South Side.
