I would like to dedicate this work to the memory of my maternal grandmother who would have been 100 on March 10: Neither one of us knows for how long we are going to be here. No one has any say in how we begin nor in how we end. Let’s stop trying to figure things out and just live. LIVE! Let’s soak it all in with all we’ve got. Let’s do it for…
Life today, as every day, is filled with challenges. Things like demands on your time, unexpected costs, illnesses, and events can all pile up.

When we choose the happy road, it isn’t just that moment in time that takes place. It’s a constant level of effort to maintain that path. Life will present numerous opportunities to stray.

After all, happiness is a state, a location, and also a…
Sometimes there is simply no happiness or joy to be found in the challenge we find in front of us. Now, what do we do? I have found that getting through this has quite a bit to do with who you surround yourself with. I also believe that a focus on the outcome can give you some satisfaction in the face of adversity. Someone asked me how I dealt with death and how it could…

The truth is however, we cannot afford the risks. By being still -even…

Asking for help is a sign of wisdom and courage. You never know when you asking for help will solve two problems, one for you and one for the person who had something they needed to share but just had to find the right person.
