Many who have known us for a while have become familiar with our Musings, an editorial offering which we began to include in our monthly newsletter almost 10 years ago.  September 11, 2001 was a defining moment for America, changing us as a society and culture.   It was this moment in our history that prompted us to begin writing Musings.

America brings opportunities for choice and freedom, but with that opportunity also comes responsibility, responsibilities that can be easy to forget.  One key responsibility that falls to each of us is to make informed decisions.  This is especially challenging today when voices are all around us which tell us only part of the story to convince us to support their idea of the truth.  In Musings, we sought to move people to think, mostly about life, but also about sometimes even about current issues as well.  More than anything else, we wanted people to think as we would challenge ourselves to do the same.  We hoped we to do a small part in encouraging us to all take seriously our responsibility as an American to live intentionally and to express our voice when appropriate.

The subjects in Musings varied, and were often prompted by life, or by a book or movie.  Sometimes an idea may be prompted by something that is important to us.  Most of the time, it appeared Musings gave us a chance to think things through, and in so doing hopefully to prompt others to think as well, to muse.

As costs and expenses have risen, ways to decrease those expenses became necessary.  It is a fact of life.  So, we are now doing our Musings as a blog post on our website.  When one is posted, all who are TLC AutoCare fans on Facebook or Twitter will be notified.

Like most of us, we tire of someone always marketing us to spend more money with their company.  But, we are a family business, so we see work as part of life.  For us, business is about taking care of people and their vehicles, not about making money.    It is our hope here at TLC AutoCare that you will come to appreciate our efforts to put something out that has nothing to do with cars, selling you anything or getting you to come in and spend money.  Yes, we do want you as a customer, but Musings are about prompting you think about life, and in the process helping you to know something about us as people.

We hope you will enjoy Musings and will return often to read more.  If there is interest, we may go back through our archives and post some of our past Musings.  Please let us know if you enjoy.
