The House
This week we look forward to the start of a new year, untouched, like a slate that is unmarked and clean, just waiting for us to paint our thoughts and impressions onto it. Many of us will start to compile a list of New Year resolutions....setting goals ...
[The House continued...]Stages of Development
This time of year many of us will be attending Christmas, Holiday, and New Year parties. On more than one occasion we may be running into people we only meet once or twice a year. Almost always the first question that's asked is, "What have you been ...
[Stages of Development continued...]Ho Ho Ho
As we approach the Holiday Season this year the door opens on a cascade of advertising bombardment where multiple companies compete for our buying power resources. Every December brings with it the list of the "must have" toys, presents, and gadgets. ...
[Ho Ho Ho continued...]Repetition
It's quite extraordinary how, when we repeat tasks, they become easier. What was once feared, over time can be looked back upon as simple and easy. Once one crosses the threshold of fear, a sense of peace and calm can take hold. When I was a kid in ...
[Repetition continued...]You're Not Crazy
When I was a child, I was always told that the world is a wonderful place, and that there are only a few bad apples out there wreaking havoc upon the masses. Good prevailed over Evil, and when something went wrong, it was only a way for us to learn and ...
[You're Not Crazy continued...]The Dream Train
A dream is like a running locomotive that barrels along the tracks to a station in infinity. That train keeps right on rolling and only we decide if we hit the brakes. All trains have a starting point....could be last year, yesterday, or today. We load ...
[The Dream Train continued...]The Ultimate Computer
We all have different brands and types of computers that we use daily...be it a Dell, Hewlett Packard, Apple, etc. We have come to rely greatly on this tool for interaction, expression, and work, yet, the ultimate computer is still the mind.The computer ...
[The Ultimate Computer continued...]9 Years
This week marks the beginning of the ninth year of the website and newsletter. Little did I know back in 1996 that the journey would have lasted this long....but here I am, and it has. Over the years many of you have dropped a line or two expressing ...
[9 Years continued...]Smell The Coffee
As many are aware, the disaster that hit the Gulf Coast of the United States this past week was monumental. As the stories and images unfolded before our ears and eyes we had to keep reminding ourselves that this was coming from a part of the United ...
[Smell The Coffee continued...]Landmines
To me, life is one great field. From the day we are born, we make our way across the field, from one end to the other. All around us are beautiful trees, glorious flowers, and heavenly skies, yet, unfortunately, across the field, some large, some ...
[Landmines continued...]Weathering Heights
This time of year in the Northeast of the United States much of the talk turns to the weather. August is traditionally known as the unofficial "steam bath" season. It's quite interesting how each person has their own favorite season and time of year. ...
[Weathering Heights continued...]Snapshots
We all grow at different rates. While one person can arrive at a conclusion at twenty, it may take another until they're forty. Our minds, over time, become an elaborate and unique camera that consistently takes snapshots along the road of life. These ...
[Snapshots continued...]Consumers of Time
It's quite interesting to observe a room or a home that has not been occupied for a period of time. When one opens the door one is surrounded by cobwebs and dust, for this marks a location where human activity has become sparse. If we were to stand in ...
[Consumers of Time continued...]Winds of Love
It's always a good point once in awhile to sit down, take a look back, and see where one's life has been heading. Over time, our hopes and dreams may evolve and where we were headed in one direction, we may have, somewhere along the way, taken a detour ...
[Winds of Love continued...]Emotional Stations
Sometimes during the evening before I go to sleep, I daydream about different subjects and ideas. One evening this past week I heard on the news that during the summer season many will be using their cars to go to their vacation of choice. The price of ...
[Emotional Stations continued...]The New Cutting Edge
There was a time when controversy was generated by artists such as Madonna and Gangsta Rappers....until one day the envelope in that direction had been pushed just about as far as it could go. Well folks, welcome to the new cutting edge, where religious ...
[The New Cutting Edge continued...]The CFO
Many of the e-mails I get involve subjects pertaining to faith, empowerment, emotions, and how overall to continue to evolve in life. There are some things in our lifetime we may never truly understand, so that leaves us with that which we do have some ...
[The CFO continued...]Stairway to Heaven
Over the years many have written to me asking how I arrived at my belief system. I am a Christian, but I have on many occasions visited different Houses of Worship. There is something to be learned from all Faiths. Not surprisingly, there are common ...
[Stairway to Heaven continued...]The Flavor of Life
The palette is a strange thing indeed...what once tastes fresh, over time can easily become bland. Regardless of the delicacy, the taste of what was once new can surely spiral into decay. So too does our palette for Life...repetition tends to let the ...
[The Flavor of Life continued...]Pope John Paul II
This week the world lost one of the Champions of Peace...Pope John Paul II. A man of strength and conviction, who called it the way he saw it. This Pope did not withhold his shots...where he saw cruelty and injustice, he made his voice known. With his ...
[Pope John Paul II continued...]The Protection of Life
This past week two totally different stories engulfed the headlines of the evening news. Both, as of today, ending up in the determination of life. Little Jessica Lunsford was kidnapped and murdered by a pedophile who was staying across the street from ...
[The Protection of Life continued...]Up The Ante
It has been roughly 2000 years since the death of Jesus Christ. Each succeeding generation has tried, and many times accomplished, to improve the quality of life of the whole. In doing so, we have also sharpened and fine-tuned our weapons over the ...
[Up The Ante continued...]Human Highway
Life is one big freeway...traffic flowing back and forth. We use these highways as a way to get from one destination to another. Each day many of us incorporate these roadways as a part of life...yet, underneath the surface there is a far greater ...
[Human Highway continued...]The Art of Shunning
The other day I read about a radio station that made fun of the tsunami victims in Southern Asia....it was a cruel and ugly endeavor on the part of the radio station. It upset me, and made me angry. According to the news that evening, it had upset many ...
[The Art of Shunning continued...]Scratch Your Niche
In life, can you be all and everything to everyone? Perhaps not....but what is possible is to find the place and corner of the world where you can be accomplished and make a difference. Marketers call this "finding your niche." For me, that ...
