Lou Holtz in his video Do Right said one thing is universal: you are going to have problems. Try as you might, you cannot escape problems long term. They are a natural part of our human experience.

Recovering from “Bad Urges”
January 28th, 2010Realtionships…Sanding Away the Rough Edges
December 2nd, 2009This morning’s daily quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer caused my mind to wander…
“The last suit that you wear, you don’t need any pockets.”
When you get right down to it, the important things in life simply aren’t about material things. If that is so, then what is important in life? Surely it would be quite a [...]
“Enjoy Each Step Along the Way”
October 17th, 2009“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place
on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.”
— Wayne Dyer
What a beautiful reminder that we sometimes need to paste to our foreheads…especially me.
What a week it has been. My book, Stop the Needless Suffering, arrived on Monday, just in [...]
"Learn to Live, Love"
September 16th, 2009“Learn to live, love…” Just now I heard someone quote this phrase, which he said came from the book The Shack. Does anyone know for sure? Is that book truly the source?

Create Good Memories
August 7th, 2009On my walk this morning, I listened to the weekly recorded call, “Breakfast with Bob,” by best-selling author, Robert G. Allen. I was struck by a comment he made:
“Good parents create good memories; bad parents create bad memories.”
Bob had just returned from a family vacation/reunion in Canada. He reviewed the beautiful memories he had [...]
"Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life"
July 31st, 2009Traumas from childhood that affect our lives? I wonder, unknown to each other, if we all don’t have them?
This week I have been involved in deep conversations with members of two different families, and both of their stories seem oddly the same. When I look into my own back yard, I find that I, too, [...]
The Positive Face of Adversity…
July 29th, 2009One of life’s snafus presented itself for me to deal with yesterday. At snafu times, it is so easy to feel sorry for ourselves. We can consume the whole day in our anguish…or we can make the choice to appreciate the contrast and choose to see the Divine in each person.
What good is worry? Worry [...]
