  Our days really aren’t typically made up of/inhabited by BIG THINGS. But in staying alert for them, do we miss the little things? Do we not see what’s directly in front of us, a kind of miss seeing the forest for the trees kind of thing? Sometimes I think we miss seeing the trees […]

  Finding yourself is not a singular, static activity – it’s more of a journey. When you realize that you really are more than the sum of your ‘parts’, that this is an ongoing activity, once started, will never end. There are two other conditions that must be accepted; one is that you have to be willing

  You do realize that it may not be a case of you doing something ‘wrong’, you simply may not be doing something right. And while the right/wrong line may blur a bit, they really are not the same thing. Actually the only commonality is the ‘actor’ – you. Is this simply another not so subtle attempt

  Admittedly, I would insist that we really DO need to know (fill in the blank). But… could I be wrong? Is it possible to have too much access to the sources of knowledge? Notice the word is ‘access’ and not a rejection of knowing. With today’s instant availability, suddenly we’re faced with two problems:  1- the

  Are you a person of your word? Is your ‘yes’, yes and ‘no’, no? Perhaps your word is… maybe? Or… I don’t know? But most important, if there is a change in your thinking or actions, do you let others know? If other people are relying on what you have said then what you

  I think my least favorite word is ‘waste’. To me it always means, simply, thrown away ‘opportunity’. I would also contend that waste is a conscious act, willful and it always indicates  – loss. While you may argue with my ‘conscious act’ designation – consider how you know it’s waste.   More important – do

  Have you ever, in your wildest dreams, considered that, like Noah, God is asking you to build an Ark? Maybe not a literal ark, but still it feels like an ark. Surely not!? And the reason you are exempt is…??? Maybe you need to look at what you are being asked to be, to do.

  Except for expletives, I don’t think I’ve ever met a word I didn’t like. I love words! To say that I’m a word person is an understatement. Obviously one of the attributes I enjoy most  about words is that they are vehicles of expression as well as communication. In case you might take issue with

  or… balancing act, or… juggling. That’s what we all face – attempting to balance responsibilities and goals and plans and expectations and family and hopes and wants and… After being involved with this for what seems a very, very long time there’s a kind of ‘but what about ME’ that emerges. Not surprising and understandable. However,

  How do you define ‘quality of life’? Without a definition, description how will you know you are or are not experiencing it?  It really isn’t important if your definition is (or not) similar to anyone else – we all have our own definitions. Regardless, the important question, after definition, is: what are you doing right now
