Be the one to help them believe in themselves and their dreams. Crowded Hallways are the loneliest places […]

‘When we feel empathy, we live from the heart and become a source of healing for others. It helps to keep our hearts open and remind ourselves to be gentle with one another. You just never know what the people you encounter in everyday life are going through. The woman in front of you in […]

I hate to say it was obvious eight years ago but it was. Unbridled narcissism coupled with constant apologies for the actions of the USA. So, it should be no surprise when all hell breaks loose at Ft. Hood and he deems it workplace violence….no surprise when Brussels is bombed and he smiles while doing […]

‘This is the third time this week that I’ve been lucky to elude the great white shark cruising in the shallow water. Now it’s clear why my friends have moved to small lakes nearby. I did hear that Clarence was attacked last week by an alligator though. Maybe I can find a swimming pool and […]

The curmudgeonly bird chose a countenance that was unmistakable. ‘Don’t mess with me, I am having a bad feather day there’s no getting around it.’ For hours he remained like a mummy looking but not seeing. Eventually, he heard the songs of other birds…saw them flying to and fro without a care in the world. […]

The path is often uphill and the footing precarious. You walk slowly focussed on just the next step…and then the next. Both hands hold on as you teeter this way and that. There is no rushing to get ahead or use in looking back…only the recognition that the goal is within reach if you engage […]

John’s shot soared high and true….it was a thing of beauty. He held his finish until the ball reached its apex and anticipated the kudos from his playing partners.
