It’s the last week of the year. It’s the time when we can look back at the year and where we’ve been and then look forward to the new year and where we want to go.
Of course, we are all in motion, all the time. It seems we are always looking forward to certain events, or...
We all tell stories all the time. In conversations, we tell stories about how work is going, how the family is doing, and what we ourselves are doing or feeling. In general, we have been taught to “tell it like it is”. We have been taught to be factual, objective, and truthful about...
I was talking with a friend this week about the holidays. She said that Christmas used to be a big deal in her family while she was growing up. There were lots of people around, lots of events, and lots of kids. Years later, after some family members have left the physical world, some have moved...
Have you ever done something or said something in the past when you hadn’t thought it through, which later you wish you hadn’t done or said?
I’ve had some times when I didn’t think and something slipped out, or it came out much stronger than I would have said it...
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. – Rumi
It’s the most wonderful time of the year (at least in my opinion). But no matter how wonderful things are, there will still be times when you see things that...

We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are. – Anais Nin
As we move through life, we see situations around us, we see people behave in certain ways, and we hear people say certain things. We think we are seeing what is truly in front of us. We think everyone around us...
He said, “Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” - Roald Dahl
Today is October 31st and we are celebrating...
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. – Jim Rohn
Every so often, when I feel like I’m struggling to keep up with what’s going on in my life, I catch myself saying “I’ll be happy when this is...
It’s October, and Autumn is upon us. The stores have proclaimed the start of the holiday season.
I don’t know about you, but I always get a burst of energy in the fall. After the long hot days of August (and even some in September), the weather cools down and I start to spend...
This week I am taking a mini-course on memory with Jim Kwik. One of the things he says is that if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them. If you believe you have a bad memory, then you will keep on having a bad memory and be unable to remember things.
I say “We are all...
