[Above The Clouds continued...]Feeling Safe
We all come into this world wanting to feel safe. We cling to our mothers as babies, and, as toddlers, tug at our father's trousers to steady ourselves. As we continue to grow we begin to realize that people can hurt us with words and deeds, others can ...

[Influence continued...]The Truth
The more we look at the world, our problems and ourselves, the better we are able to reach conclusions and solutions. The Truth, in most cases, is a hard pill to swallow. Often, we want to sweep things under the carpet, hoping that by themselves, ...
[The Truth continued...]Noises of Nature
Sometimes I think I've just about heard it all....then I hear something that makes me realize there will always be more amazing things to hear on this planet!!! One of America's illustrious states just passed a law, after a new development was built on ...
[Noises of Nature continued...]Love and Money

[Decisions continued...]But Seriously?
It's very easy to get caught up in life's day to day activities, as if it's some life or death situation. I don't know about you, but about once or twice a week, I have a tendency to magnify things out of proportion. Yes, life is important, but isn't it ...
[But Seriously? continued...]Joe
This is a story about a little dog named Joey. As I have mentioned before, I am the proud owner of 3 little dogs named Elsie, Freddie and Phoebe. As you can imagine, taking care of 3 dogs can be quite challenging at times, but believe me, I get back much ...
[Joe continued...]Human Existence
To be Human, and live in this world, there are a number of Laws that are given to us physically. If we are to have any kind of prolonged peace, we must bring ourselves to accept these Laws as fact. As always, I'm sure you too can add to this list to make ...

[Diplomacy continued...]The Core, Part Two
After last week's essay "The Core," the following few days, more and more of my thoughts on the two parts of who we are (the physical and spiritual) started coming to the surface. In my own life, I have found that I can go out, do some shopping, go to ...
