  You’d think by now that I would have grown up! I am old enough – chronologically.  But every day I do or say something that totally disproves this status. It’s really quite frustrating when I consider, at the end of the day, my day and how I’ve done. However, since I believe in forgiveness […]

  How are your ears? This is not a frivolous question… how do you hear? This is as much a ‘how’ as it is a ‘what’ question. But when it comes to the written word, your ‘how’ takes on even greater importance. First you need to recognize that we all do hear the written word as

  I would argue that we all search for meaning in our lives and I don’t believe I’d get an argument. How we define ‘meaning’ would undoubtedly vary, but the actual searching wouldn’t. We all want our lives to mean ‘something’, count for ‘something’. For me… it is impossible to live without meaning. Why would

  Do you appreciate what/who you have when you have it/them? Or are you, like most of us, the type that really only appreciates after the fact? Is it your memories that remind you what was and colors your now, or do you let your memories sag into… if only I’d… or what if I’d…

  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
