| See It, Trust It, Live It Sometimes, when things seem at their most chaotic state, we tend to lose sight of some pretty basic practices. We forget that 'this, too, shall pass' and that there is usually a reason for most of what's going on around us. Knowing WHY is not so... ( added 139 days 13 hours ago.) |
| The Myth of Perfection ~ Is It Really Possible? Webster's dictionary defines the word 'perfect' as follows:
- Lacking nothing essential to the whole: complete of its nature or kind.
- Being in a state of undiminished or highest excellence: FLAWLESS.
As a 'wordsmith', it often happens... ( added 158 days 11 hours ago.) |
| In The Absence of 'Normalcy', Do We Grow or Shrink? It has been said that if you're not growing you're dying. I've often wondered about that adage and why, at times, it seemed to disturb me so much. Now, after many changes have occurred in my life, I realize the truth of the adage as well as the...

| When Opportunity Knocks...Answer The Door! Life is such a crazy adventure. Just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row...all of a sudden everything gets turned upside down. There you are, sailing along on that calm sea...and BAM! a big ol' wave comes out of nowhere. Thank... ( added 180 days 14 hours ago.) |
| Sage Advice From An Angel Among Us ~ Gracious Guidance Is A Great Blessing! The older I get, the more I appreciate the 'little things' in my Life. You know, stuff like people who 'get' who you are. People who love you 'anyway', even when you're being a stubborn pain in the rear. People who, no matter WHAT, will patiently... ( added 188 days 15 hours ago.) |
| 2008 Graduates ~ 20 Things You Probably WON'T Hear At Commencement Ceremonies Graduation means new adventures, new paths, and lots of new choices to
make. Whether you're leaving for college or the work force, there are
lots of things folks will tell you, attempting to give you 'advice' as
you head out for this next... ( added 194 days 13 hours ago.) |
| Wading Through The Muck ~ When To Let Go & When To Hang Tuff A recent stream of events has caused me to pause for a moment, well, more than just one, and reconsider the course of this thing called 'my Life'. I've been on a mission for a pretty long time, a mission to examine how I operate and change those... ( added 195 days 13 hours ago.) |
| When Good Dogs Do Bad Things ~ A Day In The Life Of A Rescue Two weeks ago, I made the very 'brave' decision to bring a very battered dog home. He was found limping along a typical Southern California freeway (by that I mean BUSY. FAST. FURIOUS) by another woman who couldn't keep him. I found him via a post... ( added 205 days 23 hours ago.) |
| HALLELUIAH! Praise Pan (That Pipe-Playin', Fun-Loving, Stinky Butt!) Having some fun with all the 'chatter' going on lately about this whole 'religion' thing. Such a volatile subject, yet, somehow, so amusing sometimes. I watch as folks go on about the things that get 'em all riled up ('THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD ...... ( added 207 days 6 hours ago.) |
| The Boomerang Effect ~ OR..What Goes Around Comes Around! Some people call it Karma. Some call it Payback. Or the proverbial Golden Rule. I call it the ol' Boomerang Effect. You know, when you do something or say something or even think something....and next thing you know, it comes right back to you.... ( added 209 days 14 hours ago.) |
| The Amazing, Illuminating, Utterly Astonishing Mysteries Of Taking Risks Every time I get ready to write something here, I'm always a bit undecided as to what category to put it under. Take this one, for example. Some would say it should go under 'Pets'. Others might suggest it go under 'Motivation'. In the end, I... ( added 214 days 5 hours ago.) |
| When One Door Closes.... We've heard it so many times...when one door closes, another one opens. Yet, we look so long at that closed door, we fail to see the one that's opened. We stand in our despair, longing for that closed door to reopen, remembering all that was... ( added 221 days 23 hours ago.) |
| Ready, Aim, SHOOT! It takes courage to see your truth. It takes an unwavering trust that you have the strength to see this truth and live it without fear of crashing to the ground, shattering like fragile glass. Truth is the key to freedom. Freedom is our intrinsic... ( added 225 days 13 hours ago.) |
| It Doesn't Have To Be Perfect Life is not about perfection. It's not about being better than your neighbor or having smarter kids or being the only one on the block with the perfectly manicured landscape. Life, in all it's unpredictable glory, is about finding perfection in... ( added 227 days 1 hour ago.) |
| In The Grace Of Silence Santa Ana winds blow the harsh, dry winds that turn wind chime songs into a cacophany of angry music, like heavy metal at it's worst. The otherwise peaceful valley is blasted with sand and tumbleweeds whirling furiously across the quiet roads... ( added 230 days 7 hours ago.) |
| Selfish Is NOT A Four-Letter Word! Most of us have heard at one time or other that 'selfish' is a bad thing. We're supposed to share. We're supposed to think about other people's feelings. We're supposed to sacrifice sometimes. Selfishness is something to overcome, not practice. I... ( added 233 days 10 hours ago.) |
| When The Past Comes Blasting In Life has a funny way of throwing curves without a moment's notice. It can be daunting or, depending on your attitude, it can be loads of fun. Just depends how you look at it. I've always been one to enjoy the surprises. Sort of like getting a... ( added 237 days 13 hours ago.) |
| Is It 'Natural' To Be Negative? A lovely woman recently wrote a comment on an article of mine, thanking me for the missive and saying that she'd be sharing it with her daughter. In this comment, she noted that 'it's natural to look to the negative'. This caught my attention... ( added 241 days 9 hours ago.) |
| Planting Seeds of Wisdom ~ Carry Your Garden With You! I am blessed to have a sister who is, without a doubt, an angel on this planet. She's my elder sister and lives in the beautiful state of Vermont. She and her partner have 7 (yes S-E-V-E-N!) adopted children, all of whom have special needs. They... ( added 241 days 11 hours ago.) |
| The Art of Change ~ Resistance Is Futile! Why in the world do we resist change so hard? Why is it that the moment we're faced with change we get so pessimistic? Why do we think that change will always equal disaster? It's such an odd thing to me that we do this (and believe me, I'm just... ( added 243 days 12 hours ago.) |
| Learning How To See Our Miracles ~ The Gift of Transformation For as long as I can remember, I've been dreaming of a day when I could write and get paid to do it. No 'real job'. No worries about paying the bills. Just me and my computer and hours on end to write. Oh, what I could do then! What a grand and... ( added 249 days 11 hours ago.) |

| Is Oprah Changing The World? Whether you're a fan or not, it's hard to ignore the impact Ms. Winfrey is having on the world. Her TV show is one of the most watched shows on the planet.

| Break The Chains That Bind ~ Part 1 As a woman who believes strongly in paying it forward, it's recently come to my attention that there are a vast number of people who have no idea what that means. People are always 'keeping score'. And then they wonder why things aren't turning... ( added 287 days 10 hours ago.) |
