Review
This is the time of the year where we start looking forward to the Holidays and the dawning of a New Year. My my does the time fly fast! It just seems like yesterday it was September....time moves whether we like it or not. How it is spent eventually ...
[Review continued...]Y2K
In a couple of weeks from now we turn the New Year 2000. I know nothing's going to happen, all will be as it is....or will it? Does anybody really believe that chaos will reign as we chime in the New Year? Are all our computers prepared? Are all the ...
[Y2K continued...]Helping Yourself
At some point, the "Genie is out of the bottle." We all know what we need....it's no mystery. We can plan, train, take courses, but at some point we must take one step forward each day on the road to fulfillment. Mankind, in many cases, is his own or her ...
[Helping Yourself continued...]Value the Space You Occupy
Whether we like it or not, value is assigned to the space we occupy....in other words, who we are. Who assigns this value? Well, to God, we are all His children, but the value that is assigned is first set by our parents, and then society. Eventually, ...
[Value the Space You Occupy continued...]Patterns
Whether we know it or not, each day we form or contribute to patterns, be it food, spending, exercise, prayer, etc. The patterns start to become a part of the fabric of who we are. We may feel that we have no control over these repetitious behaviors, but ...
[Patterns continued...]The Lottery
Nearby where I live is the local deli. In my neighborhood, the owner's name is Phil. Each week, Phil dispenses to the neighborhood many lottery tickets...little pieces of dreams for those who choose to partake. I know, I know....the odds of winning the ...
[The Lottery continued...]Who is Jesus?
To me, Jesus is compassionate, caring, forgiving, embracing, helping, and someone who is in total command of common sense. Isn't it amazing how many people Jesus has saved, while, sadly, man has also used His name to destroy. Hate is not a word that ...
[Who is Jesus? continued...]Feeling Good
One of the hardest things to hold onto and maintain on a daily basis is to feel good about yourself. As we know, we all have our share of negativity that we just fight through daily....but I do have a few suggestions that may help you sustain those ...
[Feeling Good continued...]Simplicity
We all start out as children, hopefully growing up in the right settings... playing with our toys, looking at the world with wonder. Everything is a Big Event. The baggage of life that we carry at this stage, in most cases, is fairly empty. As we ...
[Simplicity continued...]Soulmates
Many of us have people to share our lives with...spouses, family members, and friends...companions we walk along the road of life with...passing through time and space. These are our Soulmates...the people we share our hopes, dreams and problems with. ...
[Soulmates continued...]Let it Out
We all deal with emotions. Living beings feel things...good and bad. So it's no surprise how many of those feelings we either lock inside, or pretend they don't exist. While our emotional surface may look calm and smooth, below the water strong currents ...
[Let it Out continued...]At the End of the Tunnel
We all know that place....where doubts creep in and uncertainty prevails....the tunnel which we all must go through in life to reach the other side. Whether it's problems at work, problems at home, or a health crisis, once we enter the tunnel it is very ...
[At the End of the Tunnel continued...]Story of a Newsletter
As this is the second anniversary of my newsletter, I would like to share with you how it all started, and where it is going from here.Two and a half years ago I began posting some of my essays on the Internet newsgroups. At first, I, like many, was ...
[Story of a Newsletter continued...]Rainbow's End
We all long to reach the place in life where all the questions are answered, financial difficulties are met, and peace of mind prevails. Most of us struggle daily with all kinds of things, but we always hold out that hope that one day everything will ...
[Rainbow's End continued...]Shaping Memories
We all have our favorite day of the week...or our favorite time of the year. They represent fond memories, exhilarating experiences, and warm heartfelt thoughts. For me, I enjoy the fall and the last three months of the year....a time of preparing for ...
[Shaping Memories continued...]The Way It Is
How many degrees do you have hanging on your wall? As we were growing up weren't these diplomas supposed to provide us with all of the answers and an overabundance of happiness? Perhaps we read too much into the expectations. An education is a wonderful ...
[The Way It Is continued...]Shaking the Cage
Sometimes it seems that life is out to lock us away in a cage....trapped, with nowhere to go. We bounce along day to day doing our best to avoid these cages that roam around cities and towns looking for the next person to catch. How do we end up in a ...
[Shaking the Cage continued...]Ages and Stages
All through our lives we move through the years, hopefully building upon the days to get us to a brighter tomorrow. The only problem with this scenario is that most of us evolve as human beings at different paces, while the world pigeonholes us into ...
[Ages and Stages continued...]The Dance
Ah yes.....The Dance...something we all partake in, whether we're on the floor, or sitting on the sidelines. The dance, the art of movement in life. Swaying back and forth, up and down, twirling around...circling the floor. A world of motion, depth, ...
[The Dance continued...]Tools of the Trade
During the hot days of summer here in the United States one can very easily drift, or feel off-balance as the second half of the year beckons. The following are a few suggestions that may help restore equilibrium...or what I call "The Tools of the ...
[Tools of the Trade continued...]Momentum
Why does it seem that some of the best things for us are the hardest things to start, while other thoughts and plans that are not in our best interest seem to engulf us immediately? I, too, don't quite know why...but perhaps we can explore this point a ...
[Momentum continued...]The Gift
From the moment we are born, the air fills our lungs, the blood flows through our veins, and all around us is wonder. As we pull away from the womb, for many of us that wonder starts to decrease and eventually we fall into one of the many patterns of ...
[The Gift continued...]The Art of Conversation
When was the last time you actually sat down in a chair, opposite somebody, looking eye to eye...and shared words, thoughts, and feelings for at least half an hour? Because of our busy lives, so few of us these days can find the time to communicate in ...
[The Art of Conversation continued...]The Grass is Always Greener
We all believe we have the "patent on pain,"....nobody truly feels the way we do. We walk around town looking at the sea of faces, and we think to ourselves "If you only knew what I'm going through," when really there could be quite a few people worse ...
[The Grass is Always Greener continued...]Blueprints
This being Fourth of July weekend here in the United States, we celebrate our Independence Day. The blueprint that stands to this day (The Declaration of Independence) represents the beginnings of a nation that stands for "One Nation under God with ...
