is that how you are living your life? Looking in the rear view mirror … for threats or enemies? for past successes? Obviously, the problem in looking in the rear view mirror is that you aren’t aware of what’s in your line of vision. How can you see the obstacle in front of you? or […]

  What visions does this word conjure up in your mind when you hear it? Do you think of family and friends gathered for a feast of turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and all the other accoutrements?

  Are you facing an empty chair during holiday times? For many it may not be the first holiday but it still feels as if it is. Regardless… are you flooded with memories that make you smile, or ones that make you sad? The more recent the empty chair the more difficult it can be
