The story is a wrongful perspective…

It is sad to see life come to an end, regardless of the circumstances. Life is precious. We who are here in this life value the breaths we are taking. Our hearts break a bit when someone dies, when it is someone close to us we feel like there is no possibility for future happiness.

When anger prevails we create–The Ferguson Ordeal

There was a movie about youth who wanted to fight, they were called rebels without a cause. There are times in the lifespan when we search for our identity and try on all sorts of tactics in an effort to understand who we are in the face of others. There are elements of this that

When we lose a beloved talent like Robin Williams

News travels fast and the words and the images shared enter into our minds and penetrate our hearts. To hear that our talented and treasured Robin Williams had died by his own hand took our collective breath and prompted a gasp, followed by shock and many tears. And this is as it should be, for

Confessing….

And so my mother was a raised as a Catholic, a very reasonable one. Not extreme, never harsh, and did not enroll me in the Catholic school system.

Life tells us what to do in every moment

Do you believe this? I used to think this was sort of a ridiculous idea–but not for very long. And I mostly thought that during times when I was troubled, like during my adolescence and some of the time during my 20s. That was tough times. I was rebellious and not allowing the wisdom that

Internal dialogue

What is it that you are saying when you talk to your self? Do you think that you don’t? You do. In fact, you talk to your own self more than to anyone else–and that’s a good thing. However, depending upon what it is that you’re saying, you are either propelling yourself into a great

Spring Cleaning — of all sorts, i.e., internal and external

Let it go, let it all go. It feels so good. I had a feeling of clutteredness — yes, I like to coin terms. Every day as I sat in my office, I felt like I wanted to somehow reorganize or something to make the space feel more open. I am extremely organized and not
