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 – it’s a mountain…. and it’s in the way! The question is: what […]

Though we may not say it out loud, we really think about ourselves a great deal. The phrase that jumps to mind is one, again not always verbalized but definitely thought, that goes like, “But…. what about meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!????” Typically this is said in a slightly whiney voice. Actually we are our favorite topic. We are

‘Life happens’ is a phrase I use quite often – and have for some time. It seems to sum up and explain those ‘things’ that occur every day that seem to defy explanation. Typically these are activities, events, people, ‘things’ that seem to have no origination point yet … happen. When I first started using

I know this may sound trivial, but have you ever considered laughter and its effects? Do you remember the last time you had a real, hearty, long lasting, body involved laugh? This is the kind of a laugh that is a total experience – not a smile, not a slight chuckle – a laugh. Sooo…

Actually I should have made the title all caps and then put a dozen or so exclamation marks after the word. We really are an independent/I can do it! creation. It sometimes seems that the younger we are the more we are prone to this behavior – actually age has little to do with it.

Is there a more negative word? It stops all further discussion/activity. Whether it’s a ‘it’ can’t or you can’t or I can’t, a ‘can’t’ completely ends, halts, stops everything. But ‘can’t’ can be a control device to stop you from proceeding. Granted there really are can’ts in the world or at least a strong ‘you
