I just recently read that those born before the “Boomer” Generation were the “Silent” Generation. Have no idea who decided on that title, but I don’t think so. We could be called the Purpose-Driven or Purposed generation, but we are hardly silent. And exactly how many years constitutes a generation? It seems to change constantly.People […]

I’m a firm believer that a good hearty laugh a day is critical to good mental health… at least to keeping your funny bone happy. But… do you know what makes you laugh?Personally I’m not particularly fond of slapstick, unless it’s underplayed and short. Some performers do this to perfection but mostly it’s done ‘over

If you were to meet you, would you like you? Do you think you’d trust you? If you were in a place where you needed assistance, would you ask you for help? If you were going to celebrate something significant in your life, would you ask you to participate?All the answers to those questions relate

I’m a firm believer in 2nd chances… and sometimes even 3rd.

We’re talking here about forgiving others.Think about it… first you have to remember why it is you haven’t forgiven, next you have to know how this

…or at least we become our choices.

Do you know what you’re passionate about Cosmic Reader? I know mine… well, at least the current ones. Some have stayed with me for years, some fade away, and some are added. For example: when I was teaching in college I was passionate about what I was teaching and what I hoped the students would

Do you know what your mission is Cosmic Reader? We all have one you know, whether or not we’ve discovered it yet. A mission goes beyond work, it goes beyond family though either/both can be involved as part of your mission.Does the mission change? Good question. My personal opinion is that the only way it
