I awoke with my heartbeat in my throat. I wasn’t sure, but my instincts told me something was alive, in me and outside. From my blurry sleep I caught the dark, massive shadow arch across the bedroom wall opposite to the window. I didn’t move. I lay motionless as if frozen to the bed. OnlyContinueContinue reading “Massive: Things that go “bump” in the night.”

Why plan?
Are you happy in your current position? Does your business give you the feeling of success? Does your team have a common focus or goal? If you answered “no” to any these questions, then perhaps your problem is that you and your business lacks a plan. So here’s my “tip for the day” – makeContinueContinue reading “Why plan?”
The story of sugar: there’s nothing sweet about it.
I highly recommend reading this article by Karen Kingston – Why sugar in our diet is like clutter in our home. I am an advocate of a sugar-free diet. I believe we are all addicted sucrose and fructose because it’s hidden in virtually everything we eat; even the reportedly healthy stuff. Give this a readContinueContinue reading “The story of sugar: there’s nothing sweet about it.”
Debate
Can you express yourself in a debate without blaming the other party? I recently read an article where an opinion was expressed about the “lack of intelligent debate” in our country today? Why is this? Can we not have a difference of opinion, yet still come to some kind of working conclusion that doesn’t leaveContinueContinue reading “Debate”
A license to kill
We seldom think of how our action, ego driven, can cause a reaction. Our ego rages away, meanwhile, somewhere else, there is a reaction. Violence happens. A life is lost or forever changed.

What does the “quality of character” mean to you?

On a national level, we seem to unflinchingly ignore the serious characters flaws in our political candidates…whom we elect anyways.ContinueContinue reading “What does the “quality of character” mean to you?”
A Plea – Do we walk upright?
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: “Come and see.” And I saw. And behold, a white horse. There’s a man goin’ ’round takin’ names. An’ he decides who to free and who to blame. Everybody won’t be treated all the same. There’ll be aContinueContinue reading “A Plea – Do we walk upright?”
Taking Action – in love and relating
I would like to share my relationship story. My partner (we’ll call her M) and I met at a retreat and quickly became attached at the hip. We dated for three months, then I moved in. A therapist once commented that we got our relationship equation backwards – ” you two had started relating beforeContinueContinue reading “Taking Action – in love and relating”
There are no shortcuts
To get what we want in life takes will, patience and determination; there are no shortcuts.
Our word is everything
Recent events have reminded me of the importance of the word we give, the promises we make, and their connection to our character. What is spoken in goodwill, should not be undone….for any reason. Broken promise litter the space of our connectedness leaving those who have seen the promise broken, scarred and bitter. Too manyContinueContinue reading “Our word is everything”
