This week I would like to break the fundamentals of Life all the way down to their basics. So sit back in your chair and with me, contemplate the "Why?" factor.Have you ever wondered as Life throws us its curve balls, what the heck is this place all ...
[The "Why?" Factor continued...]Anger and Peace
All through the week many of us out there sway between states of anger, and peace. When the day goes well, a sense of well-being and serenity comes over us. Everything seems balanced, centered and complete. We wonder why each day doesn't go so easily. ...
[Anger and Peace continued...]Doing The Dishes
The sun is barely peeking through the woods behind my house, as I immerse my gloved hands in soapy water to begin the chore of doing the dishes. Doing the dishes is a daily affair...several times a day it needs to be done....the same ritual over and ...
[Doing The Dishes continued...]Art, for Arts Sake
Many of us out there tweak and dabble around our basements, garages, and spare rooms, delving into our hobbies and passions that, surprisingly, sometimes become our livelihood. Arts and talents are gifts from the Creator...their purpose is to communicate ...
[Art, for Arts Sake continued...]Tune Up
This is the time of the year when kids go back to school, Summer homes are closed up for the season, and Fall is just around the corner. We start to head into the last quarter of the year and before too long, the Holidays are right in front of us! Many ...
[Tune Up continued...]Unique
As much as we think we're not, each one of us is unique. The world would have us believe that we're all a dime a dozen....but are we really? I believe it is a responsibility of every one of us to seek out that uniqueness, embrace it, help it grow, and ...
[Unique continued...]Emotion in Motion
Every week I receive emails from people describing their lives and how life can throw us all curve balls sometimes. We all have our up and down days...so here's a little suggestion on perhaps finding a way to deal with the emotional roller-coaster we can ...
[Emotion in Motion continued...]Blueprints
This being Fourth of July 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 Liberty and ...
[Blueprints continued...]Health is Wealth
No matter how much you have, where you live, and what you do for a living, when you don't feel good it's the pits. Be it a bad cold, a touch of the flu, or a prolonged ailment....how you feel drastically affects your life. Is health the ultimate wealth? ...
[Health is Wealth continued...]Paris Hilton
If you have been looking at the television for the last day or so you are fully aware that the book of Paris Hilton has entered a new chapter. Some love her, some loathe her, yet one thing is for sure, Paris Hilton stands as an example of our current ...
[Paris Hilton continued...]Ten Years
This week marks the Tenth Anniversary of my newsletter. Little did I know back in 1997 how far and how many it would reach. The world has changed quite a bit since then....still, I remain as optimistic as ever that we can make things a whole lot better. ...
[Ten Years continued...]The Hermit
A while back I had a fascinating conversation over a cup of coffee with a new friend of mine. She told me that overall she was practically a Hermit, and proud of it. She informed me that except for me and a limited few number of people, she communicated ...
[The Hermit continued...]Where Would You Live?
If you had the opportunity and the finances to live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Think carefully....because what we answer says a lot about who we are, what we are, what we value, and what we need.There are certain cities in the world ...
[Where Would You Live? continued...]Boomers
Over the next twenty to twenty five years the Baby Boom Generation will reach retirement age. In the United States they will become one of the largest, if not the largest, demographic to ever retire. One can only wonder how that is going to change our ...
[Boomers continued...]Everything Old is New Again
When you first moved to your current house or apartment, everything looked brand new. When you stared out the window, walked around the neighborhood, shopped at the local stores, everything seemed exciting and crisp. Eventually, this starts to wear away ...
[Everything Old is New Again continued...]Comfortably Numb
Have you ever had a week where so much has happened that by Friday you feel comfortably numb? A state where so much has gone on that not only do you feel neither here nor there, but disorientation circles around you? Comfortably numb....going thirteen ...
[Comfortably Numb continued...]Sparks
We all start out seeing the world as a beautiful, wondrous place. Unfortunately, in many cases, life can easily dampen our dreams. As the years roll by we can become discouraged, and eventually abandon the goals we set out on originally. It all comes ...
[Sparks continued...]Jot It Down
Reminiscing about the past can be a tricky exercise. You never quite know what thoughts and feelings can crop up in your mind at any moment. It doesn't always have to be an unpleasant activity. Here is something to try the next time you have a few ...
[Jot It Down continued...]Trails Through the Wilderness
Life is one huge forest...while all around it are multiple trails from which we have to choose. Some are short, some are long...each represent a journey of length and time. We all choose one, whether we know it or not. So let's expand on this concept ...
[Trails Through the Wilderness continued...]Full Circle
Within the past century, decade by decade the family structure splintered piece by piece, and, in some cases, spread itself to the four corners of the world. When the children grew up to spread their wings they couldn't get far enough away from Mom and ...
[Full Circle continued...]Purpose of Life
These days we are hard pressed at times to see the Purpose of Life. If we turn on the television news we see man-made and natural disasters, and the History Channel is ever ready to tell us of impending doom. The older generation moans that it's "not the ...
