  Do you only see mountains? And craggy ones at that. Your mountain may look like a molehill to some and the Alps to you. It may look like a bump in the road or a range of mountains. Size and number are not as relevant as existence. If you have a mountain then it’s […]

  Are you a forgiver? When someone ask for forgiveness, are you quick to grant it? And then??? To forgive means to wipe the slate clean, do you do that for the other person, do you give them a new start? Or do you, subtly or overtly, punish them for their grievous behavior? Do you

  Does that sound as lame as it looks? Probably. But, like me, do you ever feel that way? Come on… be honest, you do. And the not wanting to has absolutely nothing to do with the ‘activity’ or the people involved… it simply is that there are moments that whatever it is with whomever they

  Do you get caught in the shoulda, coulda, oughta? Of course you do. We all do. The difference is the extent to which we let it control our lives and especially our feelings.
