  They are not the same! I sometimes think we get the two mixed up and attribute a common definition for both to be the same. They’re not! What they do have in common is that both are actions… very obvious. Have you thought about them? Which do you see as your primary behavior? Confused? As […]

  This is really a two-part question: who is the thief and what is taken? There are a variety of thieves and many people experience more than one type. The fallout from being robbed can be extremely long-lasting and affect more areas of your life than imagined. Some examples of the thieves are stress, low self-esteem,

   I don’t know about you, but sometimes it feels like, though I do have my armor on, that my shield and sword are in my hands but my hands are lying simply at my side. Ever feel that way? And, yes, the operative word is ‘feeling‘. But when we ignore our feelings or try

  I’m beginning to think that indifference is worse than hatred, or any of the negative emotions because there is no reaction. One doesn’t act/do anything. How can you talk with, question, or ‘debate’ with people who are totally indifferent?! You can’t! It becomes a completely frustrating feeling and situation. And if you are passionate

  There is a saying that I think is spot on – ‘If you don’t know the truth… you can’t recognize a lie.’  True that. It’s so simple and obvious that its ‘truth’ is indisputable. The problem? Truth. How do you define the word? How does it look, operationally, in your life? Do you believe

  Yes? No? Wishy- washy? Don’t want to sound mean spirited… but how does acting inclusive not mean approval and/or acceptance? Or does this become ‘excused’ by the ‘love the sinner, hate the sin’ position? If so, then how does one square this thinking with the admonition to let our ‘yes be yes and our

  Do you ever feel that this is where you have and are looking – you must be in the wrong place(s)? That you are trying to find answers but not particularly successful? I certainly can relate. Sometimes I still find myself in those places, when I don’t follow through on what I know I

 … the personalization of learning through demonstration, expression of what has been learned. Simple definition, but with no equivocation. I realize that I talk a great deal about application, demonstration, learning and all in the context of personalization. (Webster doesn’t seem to like my word – but personalization – the integration into one’s mindset, lifestyle
