As we begin to formulate goals for the year, (and clearly these are different than resolutions which are off the cuff changes that rarely last) we need to carefully lay the groundwork to allow for our success. This can mean that there is a great deal of thinking, planning and mulling going on before…
It might sound odd to say that 2019 began for me with an epiphany thanks to a complete stranger, but that is most certainly the case. And this lesson caused me to stop and carry my thoughts further than I ever had in the past. It was truly a revelation of epic proportion that I am still struggling to completely understand and appreciate to its fullest meaning and impact. I have always believed in one…
As I’ve gotten older I have begun to see the value of things differently. I used to turn to physical items to remind me of the closeness that I shared with a loved one. As an example, I have an old flannel shirt of my fathers. Each time I slid it on I would close my eyes and imagine the feeling of a hug from Dad. The buttons are coming loose as the thirty some…

Every day is an opportunity to become a better, stronger and wiser person! A wise person told me that the best advice she ever got was as a small child when her mother told her to learn something new every day. She lived to be almost 88 and she followed her mother’s advice for all of her days!
We are often our own worst critic but rarely are we our own greatest fan. Loving yourself and being proud of your accomplishments is not the same as being self-centered or conceded.
