Are you a person who easily listens and responds to instruction, direction, advice or guidance? Most people aren’t; most of us struggle against those who try to inspire, discipline, encourage or outright set up boundaries for us. It is human nature to say, think, or feel…It is my life; I make my own decisions. Ultimately [...]

Have you ever built up your expectations for something only to find yourself disappointed? I remember as a young teenager, trying to resist building up my expectations for special days and events, because I happen to have a great imagination and could really envision how I wanted something to be; then, if it didn’t measure [...]

Have you ever talked with someone, in person or on the phone, and FELT the pain that they were going through? Staying connected to those around us demands an attitude of awareness and compassion.

When someone struggles with guilt in a needless way…it can be devastating. I had a brief conversation with someone who was struggling with it…as she said, her guilt, other people’s guilt; and, she said she needed to let it go; because she worried too much about what other people thought.
You see, guilt is [...]

Ok, I am going to rant a bit for a minute. Twice this week the news has hit us with two terrible stories about families that self-destructed through murder-suicide. Two families that were destroyed. One family in particular left a suicide note allegedly saying that the reason they were dead was because both the [...]

She was left on her couch allegedly for approximately three weeks without medical help. She was so weak from lack of [...]

People are funny; when things get tight…their fists often get tighter; but not always. This year, like no other year in recent memory, people are hurting. They are hurting in many areas financially. Many have lost their homes, their jobs, their savings…along with medical coverage. It is a difficult time for many in our nation.
Most everyone [...]

This week we celebrated two very special things here in the United States: one was Monday, November 10th which was the Marine Corps Birthday…and yesterday, which was Veteran’s Day. Both dates give honor to our military men and women. We should celebrate our armed forces because they sacrifice so much for us. We have [...]
