I periodically work with a fantastic organization called Cowboys & Kids (www.reachkids.com) out of Arizona. Cowboys & Kids is a National, 501c3, non-profit organization whose mission is to “reach youth with a message of character-branding truths for today and tomorrow”.

I just read an article in a magazine published by my insurance company titled Whats Driving You? Feeling Annoyed? Aggravated? Angry?
