We all exude and absorb energy and we all are more naturally adept to one or the other. Whichever one isn’t natural for you, that is where your work is. Since I absorb, I am writing this from my point of view. I mean no disrespect to those that exude, rather the contrary. I know […]
Someone manipulating me into something they believe is best for me is the number 3 thing that pisses me off pretty quickly. Seriously? You think you know me better than I do? Especially if that someone is a person that holds a degree, certificate or position that they think entitles them to fix me, with […]
This is one of those little catchphrases we love to use to explain why we aren’t making progress. Think about it. If we always took one step forward and two steps back, we would never make forward progress. Is that true? Nope. We move forward all the time. I did some research into this catchphrase […]
I was asked by my mentors to write about betrayal. More specifically, how I have felt betrayed by others. I was also encouraged to write in a way that I would avoid planting or stepping on land mines, respecting the others, and in a way that allowed me to be heard. I did what I […]
The quantity and severity of violent attacks on this or that group by this or that group has been growing at an alarming rate. I think we have always had these types of conflicts and violence, but we haven’t had the instant access to it, or such easy access to the means by which to […]

“Well you only need the light when it’s burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low Only hate the road when you’re missing home Only know you love her when you let […]
I have studied under Jack Canfield and simply adore him and all the work he and his staff do. He often asks, “What is the WHY behind everything you do?” And for a long time, I had trouble with this question. I didn’t get it. You do things because they need to be done. I […]
Which have you been labeled — introvert or extrovert? Are you truly shy and reticent OR outgoing and overtly expressive, at ALL times? I am fascinated by the word or. We commonly think of it as a limited choice between two things… hot or cold; inside or outside; today or tomorrow; boy or girl; happy […]
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for marriage equality and I am very happy when people achieve a goal they believe in and accomplish — woohoo!! Oh, and this has nothing to do with sexual preferences (to me, the gay community has far more depth than sexuality), so check your judgments at the door […]
