everyday living? In the midst of your journey? I can’t think of anything more frustrating, though there are issues that are equally compelling (spelled: irritating). This is another one of those times that call for ‘now what’ questions. They nearly demand an answer and it will impact on how long the derailment will last. Unfortunately, […]

  I can’t think of a single thing we do that the ‘details’ don’t impact, one could argue that they control. What do you think? Every time that an action appears to be appropriate and something goes amiss, I’ve learned to backtrack the details to discover if that’s where I missed a step, or added

  Look out! Look where you’re headed! How often have we heard this warning? And how often have we heeded it? And when we haven’t, how often have we stubbed our toe or fallen? Warnings should do exactly what they’re intended to accomplish – to alert us to what lies ahead and help us to

  Actually that’s what it’s all about. We all have the potentiality to make the world a better place. It is up to us to walk in this. But first you have to believe you can make the world a better place and then you have to seize your moment to act on your part

  Do you hold grudges? I thought that I didn’t until an incident occurred and I had to reexamine exactly what I did, not just believe, but did. I think I always believed in forgiveness because I tended to find myself in need of it quite often. But what about you? Are you needing to

  I admit that I talk a great deal about finding yourself, discovering who you are and where you’re going and why but this is never an instantaneous discovery and is always never ending. And there is no magic wand to wave that will grant you this information. You have to decide that you are important

  It seems that ‘everything’ has layers. This is neither ‘good’ or ‘bad’ it is a given. Example: in school first you learn 2+2=4, and as foundation then you graduate to multiplication and division, and then on to algebra and trig, etc. You can catch my point – that everything really is a building block

  When departing from someone or something… how do you say good bye? And what do you mean when you say … ‘good bye’? Does it mean – The End? Does it mean a parting for awhile? How do you feel when you say those two words? Relieved? Sad? Both? And how do you feel

  How do you hear those two words… as a challenge? As a disbelief in (fill in the blank)? What are your feelings that emerge – anger? Shock and surprise that you, your word is questioned? Did you make your comment that invoked those 2 words unthinking and now you need to provide the basis or source

  The short answer is – absolutely! What isn’t OK is to try and deny that you have doubts… or that doubt isn’t that important… or ignore the doubt. Doubt can be a part of resolving any issue. I find that doubt can ‘stir the pot’ but it isn’t the pot nor is it the answer nor
