How do you react to questions? As an intrusion? As an attack or challenge to what you just said? As a ‘inquiring minds want to know’? Then again, you need to know the question-asker. Personally, I’ve never met a question I didn’t like… and, I never ask an idle question. However, that may not be […]
Note: the following (to the <<< >>>) is the reaction, reflection, etc. from a reader (who happens to be a friend). I felt his words should be shared so I asked him and he agreed. His name is Keith D. Govier and we’ve known each other for over 30 years so I’ve learned to trust

Ummmm… how did I get here? Perhaps more important… HOW do I get outta here!!!!! I feel like a whole lotta pruning is going on. Activities, responsibilities, leadership… and I could go on, but this seems to be the best definition of the ‘environment’ I’m experiencing. Accurate? Not sure. But I seem to be at

Which are you? Do you act… and then think. Or think… and then act? The latter is the much preferred method. The former can, or does, result in multiple missteps, apologies, scrapped knees, bumped noses, embarrassment – and the list goes on.

Yes… I know I write on forgiveness – often. I think it’s because it is such an integral and important attitude, standard in our lives.
