Anytime I am about to make a judgment about another person, and this is on a serious level not wow she’s a bad cook kind of thing, I try to mentally picture a bold yellow sign that reads, “BEWARE-DANGER AHEAD”. Because what I have come to learn is that those who judge others are often the least likely to possess the criteria that have become their yardstick. Let me also add to this that we…
I read something yesterday that was very simple and yet very important. “Just because I don’t agree with you does not mean that I hate you.” It sounds like something so amazingly easy to grasp, but that is not the case anymore. We have become a society of extremes. Every person that you speak to is “totally into” this or that cause, lifestyle or activity. And if the concept ended there, we would be far…
Everything in your life needs to have a purpose… even if that purpose is just to make you happy! Every person deserves to have some joy in his or her life!
The older we get the harder it becomes to see the world with the excitement and sense of adventure that we all had as a child. I understand that a certain level of clarity and reality must be applied as we enter adulthood and beginning to plan for our future and that of our children and beyond. But I also believe that the inherent desire of a child to see the world adorned with rainbows…
Just Be Yourself… No one else is going to be. Just Be Yourself… Don’t care what anyone else thinks and if they have a problem with you, so what? Be Yourself… Do what you want, think about what you want and act how you want, just as long as you are not harming anyone. Be Yourself… And live it with flair! See The Good would like to thank Amy for her guest post. Amy is…

As we reach our golden years, it is customary to plan for that next stage of life. With the freedom afforded by retirement, many of us choose to live out a lifelong dream. In my case or our case, I should say because my husband shared the same dream, we were planning to move to a tiny Caribbean island and spend the rest of our days on Island Time! I have loved the ocean from…
As I get older, there are many times when I realize that I have just gained some priceless insight into the life experiences that my parents endured. Then I wish for just five minutes to add yet another line item to the apology that I owe them for scoffing at their challenges and frustrations. They were what I considered very little things, but now, I am viewing them from the other side of the coin.…
Today I was reminded how something as insignificant as a coffee cup can hold more meaning than just about any other possession that I own. It’s these tiny everyday things and events that become treasured thoughts and memories which comfort us when we feel lost, alone or just like we need a reason to smile. I was born fairly late in my Dad’s life, and as such, I was in my 20’s when he got…
Peace in the world! Is that possible? Is that beyond us? Have you ever thought that you can play your part to bring peace to the world? If only each person really loves and cares for the person next to him in each present moment of life, it will bring peace to the world! If only we really had to love our neighbor as Jesus taught us, yes, it is possible to have peace in the world. You can…
