brief update

Today is April 6, 2010.

Much has happened since 2007, including, unfortunately, our Great Recession.

Hopefully we are all older, but wiser.

Life in Miami, thanks to what I describe as, "The Internationalization of Miami ... The Cuban-American Miracle", continues to stun one with Heaven-Sent beauty.

We must all try to live up to the responsibility of being Shepherd's, and/or Caretakers, for God's Miracle, even as we revel in our great fortune at being able to enjoy it.

LOVE to you and yours,

Welcome to my Blog

Dear Readers:

I have created this blog to begin my campaign for election to the Coral Gables, Florida, City Commission. I have more to learn than I have to offer, but I hope you, the residents of Coral Gables, will teach me. As a 1951 native of Coral Gables, and former Coral Gables High student body Vice President, I believe we can do a better job for Coral Gables.

PLEASE communicate with me.

Sincerely,

(Jackson) Rip Holmes
