   Are you? How do you know? Just as important – does your face know?  That was not a sarcastic comment because we aren’t always aware of the statement our countenance makes. I am not going to define ‘happy’ because the definition can be incredibly personal. Happy appears to be an all encompassing feeling. But […]

   Webster: “to use unclear language especially to deceive or mislead someone; to avoid committing oneself in what one says.” Do you know people who do this? Of course you do… we all do. The question should be – is this something you do? Again, I suspect that we all do – at least on some

   You won’t always be right, you know. No matter how hard you may try – there will be times that you ‘simply didn’t get it right’. And, being an A or B or whatever personality type has nothing to do with this state – we all want to be right! While we especially aren’t

   Not always an easy action. There are times when you feel so beaten down that you ask yourself if it is really worth it to get back up. This is especially true when you’ve really tried and done everything you can think of to make (fill in the blank) a success and absolutely nothing

  Related? In any fashion? Let me share what I read in a very charming book, part of a very charming series by Susan Wittig Albert. The following is from Book 3, page 234 in “The Tale of Cuckoo Brow Wood”, her Beatrix Potter series:      “It is undeniably true that the imagination is far

   If you were asked this… what would be the first words out of your mouth? Do you know? Would the words be descriptive? And what ‘kind’ of description – materialistic, philosophical, personal? Would they be words that speak to what you’re doing or what you’ve accomplished? Perhaps you’d talk about what are your goals.

   I’m in the waiting on the proof stage for my new volume, “Lessons from God” in my “Me and Thee” series.  This is the 5th and final volume in this series, which is probably why I spent as much time on it, though one never is completely satisfied with one’s writings. I have the
