  I don’t think I like that phrase – it’s so dismissive. It is anything but life affirming. While undeniably true, it doesn’t seem to acknowledge ‘now’ and what may be happening. This phrase which I would like to think was uttered with the best of intentions is disrespectful at best. Sometimes you have to somehow […]

  Seriously… can you get your head around that word? Can you even define it? Do you understand what it means? More importantly – do you see how it applies to YOU? 1- that you actually need to be redeemed and 2- that it is an extremely simple method to acquire it for yourself? Sometimes

  The starting place is a definition – what is and is not a blatant? To me ‘blatant’ is a person who IS what they say. It’s not necessarily an ‘in your face’ person, yet they don’t compromise their beliefs – they live them. Their witness is visible in their behavior. Which means I don’t adhere to Webster’s

  Do you ever feel like ‘throwing in the towel’? Of course you do! But do you… throw? Why??? (And, How???) What is it that makes you throw in the towel, give up, quit – or want to? No matter how much you have put into (fill in the blank) do you simply walk away?

  Do you get bored? Do you find yourself with ‘nothing to do’!? Perhaps I should say – nothing you want to do. Quite honestly, I’m not certain I’ve ever been bored but if I were, knowing that a cure was at hand would be wonderfully comforting. But, what would you do if you found yourself bored? There’s a wonderful

  Is there such a thing as ‘a simple’ … to anything! Granted it depends on the issue but even with the simplest of questions… is there ever just a simple answer? I’m beginning to seriously doubt it. Or maybe it’s that no one wants to commit themselves to something ‘obvious’ or ‘simple’ because life has ceased to be

  Do you know what yours are? Those irritating behaviors, attitudes, and/or emotions that trip you up. Just when you think you have finally ‘matured’ and mastered them… they blindside you. Do you know what causes you to stumble? Whether or not you realize, you really do know, however it’s an issue of who’s in control – you

  Are you generous? Perhaps just as important… do others see you as generous? Do you want to be considered as a generous person? Now the crux of the question – generous about/with what? Your time? Your resources? Your thoughts? Your you? Generous is as much about the intangible as is is the material. Generous is always a

  Where are you on the confidence continuum? Supremely confident or low self esteem? And the focus/issue is not the point, I’m talking about your overall rating of you. Smugly Supremely Confident is not a positive nor is it attractive but snivelingly low self esteem isn’t either. Your level of confidence really becomes a method

  It’s not always easy and sometimes it is extremely difficult to cope with a disappointment – regardless of the ‘type’. For many of us, the first reaction to disappointment is pouting. Pouting can take many forms but there are both childish and adultish – and both exist, are visible, and are undeniably pouts. There are multiple issues
